Delurking. (And thread hogging)
Sorry but all you supposedly pampered princesses are complete amateurs. Let me tell you about my ex SIL you slackers and maybe you could learn something.
SIL and BIL no children, 2 bed house no pets. Manageable housework then. SIL works part time. Has "too much on" to work full time. BIL works shifts + overtime (long days). SIL leaves BIL a note with the jobs he is expected to do when she is out shopping with friends or being pampered.
Pampering very important to SIL btw, once overheard her describing someone to her Sister thus "the sort of woman who doesn't even pluck her eye brows" (was possibly referring to me....). Anyway both her and her sister are overweight and SIL has a long, horselike face, so not really sure that people would notice her eyebrows or manicure tbh.
Anyway princess SIL would return from a hard days shopping or work (small clothing shop) have a bath, while BIL cooked her tea then put her pjs on. At 6pm. Clearing up and remaining chores done by BIL while princess watched soaps.
If BILs shifts meant he was not around to cook dinner, her mother would plate something up for her and drop it off. Princess didnt cook you see.
One Xmas they came to us and she had a cold. I had 2 DCs under 4 at this time and cooked all the dinner while she sat on her arse having her wine topped up. She did not move off the settee all day even when everyone else was helping with clearing up and washing up. She explained that she wasn't very domesticated.
We probably had them over for a meal at least every couple of months. This was never reciprocated, she sneeringly said that didn't cook. not like wicked. Her implication being that I was a lower form of human life and she was above such triviality.
You note she is my ex SIL. BIL did eventually see through her.
