I was able to borrow a car from my to-be-in-laws. We get along fine. I think they understand. Once we were are their house for dinner (they live less than a mile away), and I made a little wordplay joke, as I am prone to do. I got a dirty look from W, MIL said, "I think that's funny!" So, there you go. Some people live to be uptight, and I think I married one.
It's not that I wasn't allowed to do housework, but no matter what, it didn't seem I could do it right. So she would either moan and complain, or do it over. So, I have to admit, I pretty much stopped.
Except that I wish there never was a "special needs" kid, I hope that administrator has one, or a grandkid, depending on her age. I think I would have let her have it, and probably lost my job over that one. I'm a pretty calm person, but that really rubs me the wrong way.
