This is worse than parenting a child. At least kids won't criticize your laundry folding or cleaning skills.

This is a classic husband problem. Sure, the mother-in-law is entitled and annoying, but it's up to the husband to stand up to her for the sake of his wife's sanity, and he is failing to do so.

"I didn't marry into being a full-time caretaker": Ungrateful 60-year-old mother-in-law stretches 2 month stay into 9 months, expects 33-year-old daughter-in-law to cater to her every whim despite constant criticism
Here at Cheezcake, we cover plenty of stories where the notion of "family helps family" gets taken for granted. While I myself have opined against the demands of the entitled relatives featured in such tales, I still do wholeheartedly believe in the sentiment. I don't think you should give your everything in service of a person that doesn't even have the decency to be grateful, but I do believe that being there for your family in their time of need is just basic human nature and decency. All you have to do make sure to stick to your boundaries, which is easier said that done – especially when it comes to parents.
In our story today, a couple opens their door to the husband's sickly mother who needs attending to while she recovers from a fall. However, the crafty lady manages to extend her two month stay into a 9 month living situation. Despite being only 60 years old, she expects a full maid service from her daughter-in-law. Scroll down to get the full story.
