My mil thinks she can only handle her son and whole house. She only knows his likes and dislikes. And she does all the work in home. She washes his son clothes, does kitchen work, everything. My husband says m not doing anything behaving as a guest. I too feel like that. But the fact is she is not giving chance for me. Even if I want to take anything, she only knows where it is. But my husband says my mom is getting old, so u take care all of us. How do I handle this sitn. How 'll i make him understand that she is not giving chance? My husband keeps on saying that u didn't even making a cup of tea for me. Sometimes I feel happy that I don want to do any work. But sometimes I feel m staying in this house as guest. Really I don't feel like my home.

there are two ways to look at this. of course the moms have already suggested how you can tackle this. about feeling like a guest in your own home, i would say think of those women whose in laws do nothign and they have to handle everything alone. you are lucky that your MIL is taking over so many responsibilities. our complaints can never cease, so instead of feeling bad about it, utilize the free time in other ways. and if you can't spend time washing your husband's clothes, spend that time sitting and chatting with him instead.
