I believe that people need to work together. He works at work and she works at home. If he wants to be with her then he will help her OR she will help him till ALL the work is done so they can be together.
Get in that kitchen & clean that house. You’re a housewife, it’s your sole responsibility.
Both should do things around the house. After all your together so your in it together.
If you’re not working and staying home the chores should be up to you. It’s part of being a stay at home mom in my opinion. My mom had 3 kids stayed at home and the house was always spotless. You can make chores into games for the kids as well.
Nup. And do it yourself you lazy SOB
You and your husband decides what is more important, and what is best for you and your home. She can keep her mouth shut about your home and life. How this family lives and how things are done are determined by this mother and father and not her; she doesn’t live there and has already raised her own family. If she thinks it should be done by the time he’s home, she can come and help out; do it herself!
And what is more important above all in a family? It is the children! Dust bunnies and dirty dishes can wait! Remember this poem?
Babies Don’t Keep
By Ruth Hulburt Hamilton
Mother, O Mother, come shake out your cloth,
Empty the dustpan, poison the moth,
Hang out the washing, make up the bed,
Sew on a button and butter the bread.
Where is the mother whose house is so shocking?
She’s up in the nursery, blissfully rocking.
Oh, I’ve grown as shiftless as Little Boy Blue,
Lullabye, rockabye, lullabye loo.
Dishes are waiting and bills are past due
Pat-a-cake, darling, and peek, peekaboo
The shopping’s not done and there’s nothing for stew
And out in the yard there’s a hullabaloo
But I’m playing Kanga and this is my Roo
Look! Aren’t his eyes the most wonderful hue?
Lullabye, rockaby lullabye loo.
The cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow
But children grow up as I’ve learned to my sorrow.
So quiet down cobwebs; Dust go to sleep!
I’m rocking my baby and babies don’t keep.
Maybe remind him and his mother, slave days r over.
If he goes out to work and you don’t, then yes, you should make sure things are done.
It’s not just a woman’s job, but part of being in a supportive, 2 way relationship.
‘Playing with’ and ‘caring for’ your kids are just another way of you saying ‘I’m too lazy to do shit’.
Sort yourself out and do your share!

I am in my 60s and I will tell you ask your husband and your mother-in-law what would happen if he was a single parent. They’re both stupid. They say the dust and cooking can always wait But a child can grow up and move away.
My wife is a SAHM and, atleast in our relationship, everything is 50/50. There are days when she’s puking so much she can’t move (she’s 12 weeks pregnant) and I have to pick up and extra little bit at home and there are days she’s bored and cleans the whole house. Point being none of it is expected we just do what we can to help each other out. It’s a partnership.
I was married to one of those losers years ago…got rid of him so then I only had the two kids and myself…was great…he never changed a diaper either,…he was old fashioned…I wasnt!!!
She is wrong, my husband helped me out and we both worked and had 4 children.
Wow if you a say at home parent then the house should be cleaned and a damn meal fixed as the kids gotta fucking eat also. Great fucking role models not cleaning or cooking for the kids and your spouse. You dont have to do any of that shit but if you live your family it’s not a chore or job you should want to do those things. This is what is fucking wrong with the world today. Yes I said what I said
Tell his mother to shut that hole in her face. This isn’t the 1950’s and you ain’t Donna Reed!! Kids come first. You never get those years back.
Tell her to come clean. Easy fix
Cooking and cleaning isn’t a job. Blowing is. You’re welcome. Now make sammiches.
& mind your own business dalt.
I’d love to stay home and cook and clean
Well spoken cuzz our way being rared cheers
Only if she lives alone
Please take a selfie and send and then I’ll decide
We’re not in the 1950’s
Nope, you both live there
Whatever works is only between you and your spouse. Only. Let her stew and cause trouble. Ignore her ! For fun , and to see an overbearing mother in action, watch " Everybody Loves Raymond"
It brings it all into perspective so we can laugh about it !
