[quote=Anonymous]I would be livid. Not only does she seem to believe that laundry is inherently your job, but she thinks that your job couldn't possibly provide anything superior to staying home to do laundry. That said, it sounds like you verbally undercut yourself & your career when you characterize it the way you do. It provides a lot more to you than hotel points, I'm sure! It's a privilege to have a job that pays you and allows some semblance of balance between career and family. OTOH if your job is actually creating a big burden on you and the family because you have to travel constantly, and you don't even have any extra money to hire cleaners ... then yeah, I might wonder and feel critical if you were my SIL. The same way I would for a DH who did that. But my solution would not be "stay home and do laundry." It would be "get a better job"!!![/quote]
