[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2188210, member: 41816"] Interesting convo with MIL today over lunch: Me: looking forward to tomorrow’s dinner at BIL’s? Her: don’t know if it is on! BIL’s wife is sick! Don’t think she will be able to do the turkey, so they may cancel. Me: oh but the kids and BIL will be there, won’t they? (One finished uni, the other in second year of uni) Her: well they can’t do it! Me: why not? At that age they should be able to step in, shouldn’t they? In fact, at that age they should be doing most of the heavy lifting already. Besides, BIL is there too, isn’t he? And I’m sure you could supervise. Could be fun. Her: *jaw on floor*. Oh no. I expect they will cancel. Can you tell that I have no time for some of these sexist, selfish, domestic traditions? I mean, for goodness sake, why should one family member do all the shopping, prepping, cooking and serving, while everyone else just does a token bit of washing up afterwards, then waits for the next meal to magically appear? I have [B][I]no intention[/I][/B] of making a rod for my own back by starting heavyweight family food traditions that someone (me!) then has to uphold for the next 50 years. Perish the thought!!! why do people put up with it? I found myself rather annoyed. fortunately, we (Mr B and I) will be having a blessedly peaceful Xmas with the drawbridge only being lowered for dog walking forays. [/QUOTE]
