[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My  84 year old MIL mows her own lawn, shovels her own work and makes XMAS and Thanksgiving dinner for 30-40 people no problem.

Maybe problem is you are lazy.   [/quote]

My 37 yr old DIL, takes care of 3 kids and a full time job. On top of that, she hosts XMAS and THANKSGIVING dinner for the extended family and takes care of her parents too.  My DS is too busy with his career to wash dishes at home but he also provides for the family by earning big bucks.  They also have a nanny.

I think PP, the OP's kids are too selfish. That is the problem.

Your dil must be completely exhausted. There is a middle ground. Many women put themselves last and suffer in silence because others with less on their plate expect them to serve and serve. My in-laws would post exactly what you did, thinking it's a compliment, but it's not. It just means they don't pause and think maybe a little help here and there would be nice. [/quote]
Omg yes! I read the above comment and thought, “PP wants us all to be wow-ed by how incredible her DIL is, and all
I can see is how utterly selfish and blind the rest of the family is to think this is just fine”[/quote]
