another mother vent

i truly despise how the men in my family are treated.

My mother works sometimes 12 hour shifts and comes home to make my brothers bed and clean his room.

hes ***** 19.

he just came home. my mother is taking a nap and he says

brother- "mom. serve me dinner"
mom- "wait a minute. i have a headache"
brother"no now!!!!im hungry."
mom- "ok"


my father and brother and most men in my family have never ever served their own dinner.
my grandmother and mother feel like my fh will divorce me in a short time bc i dont "serve my man".

OMG I remember eating at my MILs house once and she said to serve DH... I looked right at her and said "He's a grown man, he can serve himself". Although I grew up with my mom serving my dad, I was NOT going to get into that habit with DH.
I dated a guy once that had his entire family spend every Sunday at his grandmothers house for dinner and the men were in the dining room and the woman had to sit IN ANOTHER ROOM after they served the men their food!

my grandmother, mother and MIL are the same way! Thankfully Ray doesn't expect me to treat him that way because I wouldn't...

WOW

Re: another mother vent

My mother would have smacked him right across his mouth for talking to her that way!!!!! I'd like to see a woman in this day and age to `serve' her man like that. I would never!

Re: another mother vent

That's my grandmother. She says "Arent you going to greet your husband?" "Aren't you going to get his dinner ready and serve it"?
Ummmm "No, gram, Im not! He's 34 years old, knows how to use serving spoons, knows where the plates are as well as the utensils"!
She just looks at me and shakes her head.
I do greet my husband and I do sit with him at meals, but, he can serve himself.
