My Mil's attitudes to women working is really really odd and I am just trying to understand her pov, wondering if it is a generational thing (although she is only mid 50s) it just her being odd.
I have ds aged 2 and work ft. Mil has been sahm for 30yrs since dh born and has never worked after all 3 dss left home. Both of my other sils are sahm. Sil 2 can do no wrong but sil 1 is always being slagged off by mil.
She went on a weekend away the other week and mil thought this was terrible- as nil would be funding it and had to lOok after the dcs having been at work all week. Now I have been on 2 weekends away since having ds but apparently this is ok as I was paying for it myself?? And I think if I was a
Sahm I would be in even more need of me time! Mil also made Odd comments about me when I was on mat leave and had a night out, saying had I asked
My dh permission since he would be footing the bill!?
But as she has never worked full has always funded her lifestyle, so I just don't get it!? is this a Common attitude or is she just odd?
