Just A Vent

Just a query. Why are dil's expected to take care of mil then ,if they are only married to husband??

 

In my opinion no need to take care of anyone as long as they are healthy.
But in joint families if PILS stay, they share baby/child care , baby sitting etc and household jobs with DILs . In this case OP's MIL is visiting her. It is better to direct her own son to take care of his mother (here MIL) to prevent more issues during that short visit as complaining wont work.

@SimplelLife , Good to hear that your dh is back on track. I have noticed that some MILS adjust with new situation/home very well, but not all. They feel like an outsider and as a visitor. They are comfortable only in their own home. If one refuse to behave like a family member in our home, we cannot force them to do so. All we can control is our response and try to handle the situation well so that we should be able to maintain peace in our home
