[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My in laws are staying with us this week.  I'm cooking every night.  Dinner is over and if my SIL is also here she helps. BIL sometimes helps and my dh always helps. Fil and mil barely even clear their plates.  Mil brought one cup in from the table and left the last 3 cups on the table and went to read. I don't expect that everyone should help, [b]but I'm just annoyed that mil especially doesn't even offer[/b].  When I ask myself why I care, I come up with two reasons. One because if I'm at anyone's house I always offer to help with the dishes no matter who it is. And two because she knows how tiring it is to raise young children.

My mother (who isn't here now) would help and she would probably tell me to sit down and not do it myself.  At MILs house I always help cook and do the dishes, which she says she appreciates.

It's not important enough to me to talk to her about it (just important enough for me to post anonymously here) but I'm now curious what happens in other families. [/quote]

Why aren't you annoyed at FIL too?  Does his magical penis give him some sort of lifetime escape from dishwashing and clearing the table?  Damn, I KNEW I should have had that sex change![/quote]
