Re: Help me to escape overbearing in laws!
My goal is to make my house a home rather than somewhere I just sleep at night. I don’t want to spend time away from the in laws for the sake of it (although I went through a phase of resenting them and their company but rationally speaking they’re nice people). I just feel like seeing them every day is too much but my husband sees it as normal because it’s what we’ve done for so many years. He once made the comment that when we have kids we can spend more time in our own house but right now I don’t think that’s ever going to happen.
In the past we used to have a weekly night out but more recently he always ends up inviting everyone and it becomes a family night out.
eastern11, my hubby wouldn’t be willing to go there alone and for me to stay at home because he thinks it would look bad (as in he’s turned up to eat but I haven’t come with him). I usually end up making roti for everyone in the evening as mother in law cooks.
At the moment my own house chores have to be done at the weekend but then I end up spending my weekend cleaning/washing which frustrates me.
