[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My in-laws came to visit (they live overseas) and meet our kid for the first time when he was a few months old.   At that time my husband was taking care of him during the day, and I was working full time, pumping, breastfeeding at night, doing all the housework after work, because during the day my husband was literally only taking care of the baby; apparently he can only do one thing at a time.   The in-laws arrived, and immediately started waiting hand and foot in their son, while I am continuing doing what I’ve been doing, only now I am cleaning up after 2 more people who are extreme slobs, and the baby suddenly decides to confuse day and night, and I barely get any sleep.   Yes, I yelled a few times at my husband to get up and do something.  On their last day, after I leave for work, they sit down my husband and tell him how sad it makes them to find him in such an unfortunate situation when his wife is not taking any care of him, and how they are willing and ready to provide any kind of support should he decide to leave me, and of course they will be providing all the emotional support for him to reign me in.   And they did, for another year or so.  I think the only reason we did not get divorced then is that I simply did not have energy to take care of it.[/quote]

Where are your parents? This exact scenario happened except it was my parents, and my mom who is quiet as a church mouse snapped when she saw me serving my home husband breakfast and basically raked him over the coals. Three kids later and he is the best house husband ever, coach, driver, handyman, hair stylist. And still scared of my mom. [/quote]

PP.  My parents are here, and my mom is actually the type not to mess up with (and we are close).   However, I do not appreciate my in-laws intrusion into my family, so I did my part with my parents.   At the end my husband did improve, and he also decided that he is not cut out to be a stay at home parent, so went back to work.   Unfortunately, my relationship with my in-laws was damaged irreparably.[/quote]
