My DIL Took Me on Vacation With Them Just to Make Me Her Maid / Bright Side

Hello bright side,

I don’t have a job. I Stay home wife. I cook and clean my house. In my spare time, I also take care of my grandchildren. I noticed that my DIL was watching me. She said: “You should take care of yourself, you look terrible.” It was very rude of her, but I didn’t say anything because I knew my son would benefit a lot from this.

One day, my DIL told me they were Spend a long family vacation at her beach house And she wants me to come. I thought she invited me because she wanted me to take care of myself and get a break. But then, on the first day of vacation, I asked: “What are we having for lunch?”

I asked her what she meant, and she said I’m the expert in the kitchen, so I have to do all the cooking. I was shocked, but I made lunch anyway. By dinner, I posted a list on the fridge. It was a meal plan for the next week. I told my DIL what she was responsible for. She just stared at me and walked out.

My son came to me and accused me of putting too much pressure on his wife. I told him that I’m not the maidEveryone has to do something. He was angry and asked me to leave. I’m upset and don’t want to say anything, but I also don’t want things to get worse with my son. What should I do?

sincerely,
Maria H.
