[quote=Anonymous]There can be big cultural differences between white and Latino families. Views about gender roles are one of them of course. My brother married a Latina and while they are compatible in many ways, there are some very real differences that they’ve been struggling through that seem to be rooted in their respective upbringings and cultures. From disciplining kids to the role of the men in the family, to education—it can run the gamut. Whether they can be overcome is hard to say.

OP, I’d be hurt at the comments but the fact is that he married you for a reason. Maybe it’s time to take action instead of trying to get buy in. Hire a cleaner and be done with it. As for his family, you aren’t the first wife whose MIL didn’t like her and there might not be anything you can do about it. Are there some family members you get along with? A cousin or someone? Try to focus on those relationships and the people who accept you for who you are.

I’d also be careful about discussion and comments in front of the kids so that they aren’t picking up on these issues. [/quote]
