[quote=Anonymous]My grandma's never worked outside the home and so the fact that they did most of the cooking and cleaning for their in-laws I guess seemed more normal or natural. The House was their job and so they did it. 
I'm working 50 hours outside the house with two young kids so there is no way in hell. I'm adding an entire another job on catering too my husband's family. But the part that gets me is when he agrees to things that are a huge burden on us that he does not even want to do. And then complains to me for the next two months about it. Why did you agree to it in the first place? Oh because you can't tell your mom no ...... well that's a you problem from now on. Told him if he keeps agreeing to stupid plans he does them himself because I am not bending over backwards anymore. An example is saying they can stay with us for the week between Christmas and New Year's knowing We both had to work all week. They are not the type to watch the kids for us or help out either. They are the type who want to sit around and talk for 12 hours a day.

He's also promised we will go up on Thanksgiving, Christmas break and New Year's Eve some years. Even though we've agreed not to travel around Christmas.   He can't tell his mom no and that's a major issue so I told him he can can go up alone then and not be with us because we decided to rotate thanksgiving with my family. That's where I will be. I think my mother-in-law purposely goes to him because she knows he will never say no.[/quote]
