[quote=Anonymous]OP, you are naive, you cannot compare your Mom to your MIL, that's just the way life is. I never ask my MIL to help because I know that she will do a basic job and I will be left caring for another person, my MIL is a nice woman and we get along fine but she is not very motivated to help her DIL. Also, free help comes with it own set of issues, you can't demand much. She should be pitching in more but honestly I don't see that happening, consider it a lesson well learned and don't repeat the mistake. Politically speaking, your expectation should be that your MIL won't do all that your Mom did because the truth is you aren't her child, to expect otherwise is super naive. Disclaimer: Some MILs are super helpful, just because yours or mine are not inclined to help doesn't mean all MILs are mean.[/quote]
