Sometimes I hate my culture...
Why? Because, I married the oldest son and they expect me to do everything for them (his family) they don't get that I have my own life to worry about you guys have arms and legs to get up and do it yourself. Just because I'm the oldest daughter in law I don't always have to cook for them and clean the whole house so they can just watch me and relax! Excuse me, that's not how the way things run in my house! That just how it is in my culture. I absolutely hate it. I don't come in a family and take all your chores away so you all can relax. No way... I am preggo and I can barely bend over to do anything and still expect me to do things that involve that kind of work. Have sympathy if you want want your chores to be done, have respect for a daughter in law/wife/sister in law! Gosh, gonna make me stress out then my baby will have to really karate chop people in the face. Now i love my husbands family to death, they are sweet and very helpful but telling me that "oh your the oldest daughter in law,we are gonna make you work hard, cook for us all the time and clean the house" very rude and disrespectful to me. FWI I'm pregnant and can't even shave down there how do you expect me to always bend over to clean things? Ugh.... Of well, can't never really get away from it so... Get over it mammanouchee! Life is not always glamorous! Just needed to vent, makes me feel better.

@momof22be I swear, my family is not like this toward my sister in law. My parents are sick but gah they still get up to do work. Why? Because its their house, they know where they stand! Ugh, irritates me!
@juneduebug yes! Fight the power! When I put my foot down and say things got to change, it will change or I'm outty! No more of this babying and family.
@azmom I feel ya. One time I was cooking for my husband, I baked the chicken in the oven and it was fully cooked but it had those brown thingy on there which will always be there! Anyways she thought it was raw and talked behind my back! What a loser head. My husband even agreed with her and said the same thing and it embaressed me amd made and mad me mad! Gosh...
@juneduebug I wouldnt count on it. When I do it gets him and he "says he understand" then next thing you know, he don't know anything that I said. But sometimes he understands and stands up for me but that's usually rare of him. He thinks that his mom is the old wise one who been through alot to know the life of hardship. Yes I understand but ppl got their own battles to fight and mine has nothing to do with her past.
