[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am Indian and so is my husband. 1st generation immigrants.  I have cleaning service twice a week, a landscaping service and I do not do any laundry or food prep.  I have hired someone to do that for us because I value the benefit of having a well established support system.   When my ILs visit for SEVERAL MONTHS, I make sure that the cleaning service comes thrice a week,  and I hire an older Indian lady to cook for all of us.  It costs us a pretty penny but if no one wants to pitch in then stuff will need to get outsourced.

Go to the nearest Indian grocery store and ask them to give you the contact info of Indian women who will do all your cooking for you on an hourly basis.  Many also will cook your food in bulk at their home and you can pick it up from there. OR you get frozen Indian food  OR you get food from an Indian restaurant.

Basically, what OP is doing is a lot of boo-hooing.  There is no problem, only an expense.  She needs to spend some money and things will be resolved.   Her ILs are 70 years old. They are no spring chicken and the son and DIL need to get their act together.

And BTW - don't start bellyaching about how you cannot afford this luxury. Most Indians can afford a whole lot in this country. Sheesh!![/quote]

Oh shut up. I'm Indian American too and thankfully have a VERY hands on Indian mil. She's a legit God send. My parents are hands on too and they're in their 60's. Cut the bs about OP boohooig. Idgaf about this bring ingrained in culture. I would not have been okay if my inlaws expected me to be their servant like that. I don't operate that way, Indian or not.[/quote]
