[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, you sound awful, OP. Your MIL is not your servant or slave! She's helping, presumably to the best of her ability, and you're furious that she hadn't taken out the trash before you returned home? And that she's not making freezer meals 24/7 or paying for your takeout? What planet do you live on where this is a requirement for family?

I say this as someone who had a serious neurological condition that prevented me from driving for 3 months and severely incapacitated me in most other respects. So I fully understand a medical emergency. But I somehow managed to work FT and care for 2 kids without ever expecting a relative to become my indentured servant. [/quote]

Perhaps our conditions are different. I didn't ask for her to do an exceptional amount of work. Very discrete tasks. [/quote]

Not the same pp. Discrete tasks? Prep and make dinner, make meals to freeze for when she leaves, drive the kids all around. My very good friend had a knee surgery and husband in Iraq, she got help for a couple of weeks and few of us drove her kids when we could. She was on crutches and she cooked and cleaned and put the kids to bed. I am right and I am not from DC area originally, people here are the worst spoiled adult brats ever created.
She doesn't like cooking, maybe she isn't good at it, she didn't take the trash out?  Maybe she is just a slob OP and not up to your standard of servitude.[/quote]
