Update: 'I have decided I will no longer host any more of his family holiday dinners': Annual family dinner cancelled after cook refuses to spend 4 hours making a meal and being ignored by guests

This person is done hosting meals after realizing that their guests don't even treat them well. 

After five years of marriage, your rituals are well set in place. You try to work together to run your household. Usually there are tasks that you like but your partner doesn't and visa versa, so you split the chores up as best you can. Sometimes that means one person cooks more than the other, while the other partner sweeps and mops and takes out the trash. There are ways to even out the never-ending tasks of life. However, this person has realized that they were totally miserable with hosting yearly meals for their husband's family, and they're asking their husband to change or pitch in with the cooking. 

This person also updated two different times, and as you can read below, they brought up some good points to their husband. It seems like his family was truly awful to this person: they ignored the host or berated them, leaving this person wishing for just "basic good manners." Their updates ended on a hopeful note, and at least they'll have a few fewer things to worry about now that their husband is aware of how they feel. 

After that, read about these people who were flush with cash and full of bad ideas, like one dude who "spent like $20,000 on fidget spinners."
