[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ah, the classic "Since the man is involved at any level more than my husband was, he's just so amazing and you should be sooo grateful for allll he does" attitude.

Yeah, that's really annoying.  Try not to take it personally.[/quote]

OP here.  Thanks.  I am working on it.  The repetitive nature of it makes me feel like she won't stop bringing it up.  Ever.  I wish she would move on.

I will also admit I have a bit of a chip on my shoulder about this because not only is my husband perfect in his mother's eyes, my parents cannot stop thinking he's the best thing ever either.  Clearly I am chopped liver.[/quote]

Oh, yeah, my mother is the one who used to make comments about how amazing it was that DH cooked.  She's finally stopped after my repeated explanations that that's more of an expectation than an exception now.  I also stopped complaining if DH was annoying me by not doing some household task, which seemed fair.  Mom didn't like it, and she wasn't sympathetic, so...

And the end of the day, though, it sounds like you do have a pretty good husband, so there is that, and as long as *he* is appreciative of what you do, that's also something.  [/quote]
