Re: I’ve had it!! Enough is enough
Why are you killing yourself making extra salan for only 3 adults? Why are you bending over backwards? Do the cooking and cleaning as required; not as overcompensation for someone who will find fault in everything. Give yourself a break. If you have not voiced your anger at your husband, then why are you both fighting and what is he angry at?
You know when your FIL criticizes your lifestyle, he is not only dismissing you…he is also dismissing his son at the same time…because your husband approves of the lifestyle you have. When he dismisses your cooking, he is ALSO dismissing his son because your husband approves of your dishes…so FIL is dismissing his son’s tastes. Do you think your husband wants his father to complain all the time? I think your husband imagined that his dad would enjoy his stay here and have good things to say about his son’s home and life. Maybe you husband doesn’t voice it but it’s possible that it’s not all that fun for him that despite all the efforts you and him make, his dad is never content. He can’t feel good about that; voicing his feelings is another issue. It’s possible that FIL’s attitude bothers him too, but he avoids confronting his dad and he avoids criticizing you to maintain peace in the home. Something to consider.
