LOL - at the idiot who thinks she knows about foreign cultures. But then she would be assumed to be a loose woman with no moral standards in some foreign cultures just because she is from the west. Ignorance has no geographical limitations.
Oh, I am also an all-American product!
So your husband's family thinks you're a whore?

You complain about this? Try having abusive, narcissistic, and mean-spirited for a change. Pfffft.

lots of us have no desire to spend hours in this museum. If you do, great for you. I'll take the art museum over air and space any day. Op is guilty of electing her in laws to enjoy what she likes instead of finding out what they want to do--which is the sign of a good hostess for guests.Anonymous wrote:Anonymous
Why would you take someone to the Air and Space Museum who is over 10 years old?
If you lived through WWII there are many artifacts there that literally saved your life.

I have very nice ILs - except for one thing. They are not used to doing anything.
Mine do not do any dishes, meals, laundry when they come to visit.
They usually stay for a few months. They do not eat left overs. They want me to make their beds every day, change sheets every week. They expect me to wipe down and sanitize their bathrooms everyday. Change towels everyday.
They expect to be taken for shopping or an outing everyday.
They expect food to be served with full table setting... you get the drift. They would fit in very well in a full service resort.
The only saving grace is that they visit once in two years.
Inspite of all these things - I have a good relationship with my ILs. They are old people with set ways, I cannot change them. All I can do is do as much a I can manage.
I just...how do you have the patience? Do you do all this work for them everyday? I could not do it.
They're obviously foreign...probably the type who burn DILs alive for not "showing respect."
They are foreign...but I do not understand this comment about burning DILs alive for not "showing respect"? That is a first class Bitch comment to make, and says a lot about how utterly ugly you are.
The reason I do all these things for them is that they have always spoken to me sweetly and they have gone out of their way to let my parents and siblings know that they are lucky that I am their DIL. Furthermore, they are used to certain luxuries in their own country and I want them to be comfortable here. They are also loving towards my children and I want my kids to bond with them when they are here.
It is my nature to avoid unpleasantness, and if I have to do something I would rather do it gracefully rather than be a bitch about it. They have not raised me, their ways are not what I am used to but basic courtesy and politeness goes a long way in smoothing things. I am not the kind of person who will ever tolerate disrespectful behavior or hurtful words from anybody, but I am careful I do not hurt other people's feeling either.

Yup. They sound horrible.
OP, the not washing dishes is gross...really gross. Other than that,; it's not so bad, right? You should feel free to vent though.

Yup. Just got back from visiting friends in London. I had to hand wash everything I pulled from the cabinet before I could use it. The glasses were cloudy with fingerprints and the coffee/tea mugs looked like something you'd find in the back of the office lunchroom cupboard. Definitely a different standard.

The washing dishes thing doesn't surprise me. I knew lots of British people who do that.

Another snotty DIL looking for reasons to be put out.
