Life will not be easy for modern daughter in law to adopt the life style of those traditional thinking's in laws

Me and my husband both work but the relatives of my inlaws expects only me to cook, clean and do the house works because according to them daughter in laws are supposed to do that. My foot. If I am also earning money then house chores should be also equal. They expects me to prepare tea and respect them then act sweet infront of them. Stupid, I will rather kill them by mixing poison in their tea. Why dont they just stay in their house, those back biting old bitches. I hate them.

Well it's your husbands duty to speak on your behalf. Also you knew getting into it what to expect these are things that ought to have been ironed out before marriage. Not just House chores but garden and vehicle maintenance chores should be equal.

Discuss with your husband, he is responsible in this and if he rejects it, give him sometime...but it's him eventually and not them. He needs to take his responsibility not as an equal whatsoever but as a loving human being. Hugs. Fuck them in laws, try to find different subjects with them, perhaps another common ground where you can agree about something...:)

@being My husband is good, he dont have any problem. Only the problem is relatives of inlaws who thinks I should work like a maid being a daughters in law.

@Simplegirlstory but he can actively show them, in front of them, how he can also cook and be hospitable with them as visitors. In practice and slowly perhaps..

Oh why dear? You can’t blame them being very traditional..these are things you can’t change…just smile and be sweet to them nothings gonna take that much from you. I knew how much you love your husband. You married him not just him, you marry his baggages, you marry the culture and the family he has grown up with. Don’t forget you are already a family member that is why they expect such from you not from any other girl but from his wife, that’s only you.

You and your husband are doing it right....sharing the housework. He needs to just tell them that this is not their house and in your house you both share the duties.
