So my husband and I recently moved in with his parents because our lease was up and we’re trying to find a house to buy. I don’t have a mom or dad so his parents have really been a rock to me these past years and we get along great, living with them is also smooth and there’s not really any complaints, we’re usually good about talking through any problem. Lately though I can’t help but feel like I’m not getting enough ‘appreciation’? I’m not sure what the right word to use would be so bare with me. His parents have 3 small dogs, on top of our 2 big dogs and one cat. Recently they’ve been traveling a lot and leaving us to take care of their dogs anywhere from a weekend to a week. I’m happy they’re traveling but what I’m upset about is they never ask us to watch their dogs or take care of them, they just expect us too? They get upset if we stay the night somewhere and ask them to take them out for us in the morning. My husband works all the time and I’m a stay at home wife, so I wouldn’t mind doing it if they asked or simply just let me know. This has been kind of building for awhile until today they agreed to babysit his niece and nephew, except they weren’t home when his sister dropped them off, only I was. And I called them and asked them when they’d be home because I had plans with my sister and was supposed to leave soon. They told me they’d leave soon and they’d let me know when they did, they didn’t leave for an HOUR because his mom had to “Charge her phone” so I ended up having to cancel plans with my sister. I do struggle with depression and anxiety so a lot of the times it’s hard for me to tell if I have a right to be upset or if it’s just me overthinking and making it a bigger problem than it is. I’m sorry this was all over the place. I’ve talked to my husband about it to get it off my chest but I really don’t like to throw him in the middle of things just because it involves his family. This is between me and his parents, so I guess if you do leave a comment I would like to know how to bring this up and talk about it with them. Thank you
