MIL is always putting me down, well yesterday I’d had enough. She claims my OH does everything (he does fuck all in reality) and I do nothing compared to him and she kept calling me a stay at home mum. He works (but only after a 4 year break of sitting on his arse). Apparently me cleaning, cooking, doing the school run and doing everything with DC (even before he was working) isn’t enough.
OH was telling his mother I haven’t stopped ‘nagging’ him apparently (he had 2 weeks off and did nothing but make mess). I said hang on a minute I’ve cleaned, cooked and looked after the DC practically on my own. I said ‘oh hurry back up to work’ and MIL gave me the dirtiest look and sad ‘oi, that’s my son don’t speak to him like that in front of me’ I told her he lies to people about how much he does and that if she carries on making little comments he can move back in with her. She’s made comments in the past about me not being ‘domesticated’ etc .
