Blargh!!!
My mother in law is a she-beast from hell. Seriously, she'd scare Sam and Dean. She'd scare Lucifer.
I really need some kind of harpie-be-gone that I can spray in the air whenever she comes over.
I just wish I could get the following through to her:
1) I don't care what Japanese wives do for their husbands. I'm not Japanese.
2) I don't care what your daughters do for their husbands. I'm not your daughter.
3) I don't care what you did for your husband when you were young, I am, VERY THANKFULLY, not you!
My husband has never given me one moment's grief about my ethnicity, my culture or my role in our marriage. He LIKES that I work, he respects that I'm not ready to have kids, and he knows I'm a terrible cook so he does the cooking and I wash up afterwards. It may not be the stuff traditional Japanese men dream of, but he's a modern guy and we're happy. Isn't that what mothers are supposed to want for their kids?
