[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Totally relate.  MIL came to stay with us for a month after DD was born, and I had gone back to work.  She obviously knew I was working FT along with DH (and relatively similar schedules)...and she'd still make comments about [b]how great it was [/b]that DH did stuff around the house and his father never did.

In the past I've ignored, but I think it wouldn't hurt for you to be more blunt with your DH that he needs to tell her to knock it off more directly.[/quote]

I'm not a MIL or anything and OP's MIL would drive me nuts too (I also work full time, AND manage to do more housework/childcare - but not nearly all).  But the bolded somehow strikes me as not that bad?  Frankly, from some of our parents' generation it IS great that your DH's do so much around the house.  It should also be expected.  But for some reason in their generation, it wasn't.  My mom worked full time, earned more money than my dad, and still was the default parent and did the majority of . . . well, just about everything.  [/quote]
