Been with my husband for 7 years before we got married this year. All of a sudden, I feel like I’m being judged by his mom for being this perfect. I need to be the one that does EVERYTHING and that son she raised has to be babied. She asked my husband if I cook for him. It seemed like this expectation that I need to cook for him every night yet she also expects me to be this career woman. She hated me when we first started dating bc I didn’t have my career figured out yet. Fast forward with a masters degree, I not only have to be the one making our income but cooking for him every night too. If this is an equal union, why can he cook for me as much as I cook for him?
It’s these types of moms I resent bc they want to preach equality but raise their sons to be babies. Thankfully, my husband is into us sharing the duties. I’m not sure why his mom would ask him questions like this.
Also- bonus: I noticed she’s been hot and cold with me. 2 weeks ago she was normal and just recently, she’s been cold around me. Also, this is the first time she “forgot” to text me “happy birthday”. She’s done it all these years we were boyfriend-girlfriend and now that we’re married, I got nothing. I noticed later on but wasn’t expecting anything. She never followed up either. I’ve read stories on here where MILs are weird during first year of marriage. Wonder why that is
