    Not alone I see....

    Cant believe how much shes wound me up mind. Think he main issue is that she went away the weekend and expected to be treated like royalty.

    Reality was, since we have a small baby, and we're in a caravan there is some degree of sorting stuff out etc so everyones got to help out a bit even if its just watching the baby for 5 (which she made plainly obvious she didnt want to do).

    Mrs tells me stories of how when she was younger, and she used to go camping, her Dad would struggle in the pissing down rain on his tod putting the tent up whilst her mother would sit in the car reading her book only to emerge when it was all done. Sod that. If you got young kids then someones got the kid minding task but other than get out and help.

    Unfortunately, he passed away 10 years ago and I think MIL thinks its kids duty to take over that role. i.e. she gets everything done for her. Over the years since, wife has realised exactly what her dad did for her mother and it was literally everything.

        I think we all do fella as I'm pretty sure you mentioned it on here a couple of times.
