[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well maybe he doesn't know how to make coffee with your coffee machine and you sound like a slightly strung out bitch.  Six weeks isn't that big of a deal, according to the federal government in fact that is all you get for usable sick leave after having a vaginal birth.  Maybe your FIL is a pill, but you could have handled it better.  [/quote]

Wow. OPs GIL didn't have to bitch about it. He could have (a) been an adult and asked her to show him how to use the machine, (b) asked his wife how to use the machine, or even (c) asked his wife to make the coffee. For him to pressure her and grouse about it while OP has her hands full is absurd. I'm sure this is not the only example of FIL wanting to be served. I don't picture him offering to make dinner or offering to clear the plates and load the dishwasher. OP sounds fine. You sound a little crazy. [/quote]

Uh, or HIS SON, OP'S HUSBAND could show him how. DIL and MIL only expected to help clueless FIL? Your gender stereotype expectations are showing.[/quote]

Mmmm, no. I'm trying to work within FILs limited scope. Of course OPs husband could also get involved, if a fourth person needs to be dragged into this little one-act. If you knew me, you'd know that I, like OP, don't put up with these expectations of serving a FIL. But thanks for playing. [/quote]

So your order of should have to put up with this is: 
Postpartum DIL
Older MIL
Able-bodied husband

Got it.[/quote]
