Can your in-laws actually be like your real parents?

Re: Can your in-laws actually be like your real parents?

If you recently got married then it is unfair for them to hint that you should start cooking and all. I am sure they are not THAT old that they just can't do anything anymore. If they know that you do not know how to cook or that your parents have pampered you alot then they should be more understanding and give you time to come around. Do you help them around the house, i.e, you MIL in the kitchen? By the way, what does your hubby think about it?
