[quote=Anonymous]Leave all the stuff related to his mom to him. Let him figure out and buy the groceries for the meals you'd cook unless they're things you'd normally do. Let him clean the guest room (wash the sheets, vacuum, do the bathroom, etc.). Let him finish the outside work when he can or hire someone to do it.

If you can't count on your partner, you need to organize your life such that you can get done the things you care about and that have to be done, hire out whatever you can, and let him "help" as he can. I, for one, couldn't care less about landscaping (we have gardeners so this isn't an issue), so if my husband wasn't doing the yard I'd either live with it until the HOA sent a notice and then let him deal with it or I'd hire the work out.

We are each responsible for our own families, so while I would offer to help with things, say making the guest room bed, my husband knows it is his responsibility to get it all done. If your MIL shows up and the bed isn't made then she can take it up with her son. [/quote]
