[quote=Anonymous]This is sort of a double sided issue. We women complain when we have to do all the housework and don't get enough support from our partners or other family members. But then we don't really want to give up control either. That is a no-win situation. I love it when my MIL comes to town and cooks meals and/or cleans up after meals. I sometimes have to bite my tongue or choose diplomatic words when she is doing things I don't like (like not handling my knives the way I prefer, or not putting any salt or oil in foods or whatever), but its totally worth it since she is actually helpful. My mom, on the other hand, isn't very good at jumping in and doing stuff in a kitchen that is not her own. So if she is cooking or cleaning at my house, she has a million questions about everything and it takes more energy. And lest I contribute to the impression that kitchens belong to women, I'll just add that my husband and I do equal work cooking and cleaning up. [/quote]
