I don't know your R with your MIL but I would say this is not the right this to do at all.

I don't want to have to run to his mom every time there is an issue, which I feel like I had done before after the bomb.

So perhaps approaching him directly and not going through his family would be a good 180.

I know how this feels...something small like an overgrown flower bed comes to represent his lack of care and attention to something you once shared.

You struggling with that leaf mower, talking to a neighbour and your Dad about it makes you feel like you're dealing with all the boring responsible things while he's off living the high life.

You're scared that if you bring it up, or do anything to challenge him he'll change your living situation.

As ScaredSilly would tell me (or you in this situation) you're making a decision based on fear.


What if this was a roommate whose job it was to look after the lawn how would you approach it?
