[quote=Anonymous]Because gender roles and work loads have changed in the past 20 years but they are still stuck in the past way of doing things. I'm sorry Karen I don't have time for daily chats on the phone because I work 50 f****** hours a week and you never once stepped outside the house even after the kids went to school. So yeah you had more time to bake cookies for your mother-in-law every week. Also your darling son doesn't do 50% of the housework because you never taught him while growing up and never had your husband model that either. so it has been a slow process to show him that this is what a man does today.. you undermining that with all of your condescending comments surely does not help.

Also I am literally stuck with these people until they die or I divorce so everything they do is amplified because I have no choice to stop having them be part of my family. A friend I can just do this all fade but in-laws are yours forever. If she didn't comment on our nuclear family in the way we do things so much I wouldn't mind her if she could just stay in her Lane. I don't call up her husband and say all the things that my mother-in-law should be doing better or differently for him and I would appreciate the same respect.[/quote]
