[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yikes.  I only listed I was a litigation attorney because it is an intense, time-consuming job. MIL will comment that we have house cleaners (she always scrubbed her own floors) and I don’t join her in the kitchen (her family had a home-cooked meal every night).  Also, I feel resentful that my limited downtime should be spent sidestepping MILs questions and faking pleasantries. And yes - I fake pleasantries for my job, but I get paid in those scenarios.

I’m torn between my own wants and doing something for the sake of making DH happy. Thanks for the advice and perspective.

Since you are married, you need to take one for the team every so often. Play ncie with his mom. It will make his life a lot easier. That’s what spouses do. [/quote]

+1. It’s part of marriage. You don’t have to be besties - just nice enough to keep the peace. I am one of the PP that said fake it. I too have a demanding job. I just view it as another house chore, one that I can’t delegate. [/quote]
