[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is her kitchen subpar? I’ll so, I would gracefully give her the gift of playing in a lovely kitchen. But then, I like my MIL and cleaning isn’t a huge deal. You’re cleaning dishes, wiping counters and the floor; it’s just not a huge deal. I throw on a podcast and some headphones and it’s not a huge problem.[/quote]

You’re also cleaning up all the food used, packing up food, sweeping, vacuuming, washing the floor, clearing the table. It’s like a 2 hour thing. I don’t feel like doing it every night. [/quote]

It really shouldn't be taking you two hours to clean a kitchen after use.  What do you do when you cook?  Are you cleaning 2 hours after that?

A dishwasher does the majority of work and clearing a table and packing away food is really quick.  Wiping everything down does not take that long especially if others pitch in and help such as asking MIL to help or getting DH to help.

Yes, it doesn’t when I cook. When it’s the kitchen, dining room, living room and there is a huge mess, it does. And she would never dream of helping me clean up after thanksgiving. [/quote]
