Re: Balancing roles of two women running one home
^ no amana I don't think it's too much to expect at all. It is totally unfair for anyone to do EVERYONE else chores.
Personally even people in old age need SOMETHING TO DO. If you start catering to them - and they have nothing to do all day you'll see more problems creeping up. (idle minds are a bad thing)
My MIL enjoys cooking, sewing, watching dramas and reading the Quran. She feels like she is contributing to the family AND LOVES FEEDING HER 35 and 30 year old babies her parathay.
I am not going to deny the woman that joy and I'll eat one on the side. :)
