[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don't have a desk that will fit in your room, have your husband pick up an inexpensive card table/folding table, they come in different sizes, and make room for it in your bedroom.  When she gets home with the two kids and is just starting dinner (or deciding what she wants for take-out), let her handle it on her own.  Keep a stash of granola bars in your room so you can wait if dinner is delayed.  Let dh handle the night stuff when he gets home.

This is a ridiculous situation.  She came to help you and other than the driving, she's on vacation.  Pulling out the garbage would have pushed me over the edge. [/quote]

Huh. Most DH's would probably rather take out the trash themselves than allow their older mother to do it.

Why can't her DH take out the trash?[/quote]

OP, I think that by pushing yourself to make up for what your MIL is not doing you are making it way too easy for your DH to slack and not deal with the situation. Anything your MIL refuses to do your DH needs to do. Period. Your leg needs to heal so you can walk again. DH needs to step up. His mom has made it clear she's unwilling to help, that means the burden falls on him - not you. [/quote]
