I don’t understand why the guy’s parents get to keep their son and his wife yet complain about her behavior. Why do they forget that the girl also has parents who may not be lucky enough to get a buy one get one free deal (bare a son get a maid for free mentality)? Isn’t that enough reason for the girl to be bitter about the whole situation? Mother in laws have absolutely no authority over their DIL. It’s their son who married her, not them.. They should be thankful that she agreed to keep the family together and shows her MIL some respect.
I have no brothers, I don’t see a reason I should be expected to take care of his parents while neglecting my own. Sorry but these MILs should know better.
How would you feel if you were told that you would be working side by side everyday with your father-in-law for your whole life? And if you are okay with that, how would you feel if he had a know-it-all attitude? Imagine yourself dealing with your know-it-all father in law every second of the day.. wouldn’t that drive you nuts?
