It’s pretty wild that some people still essentially think that women belong in the kitchen. In u/hatethistradition‘s case, her in-laws managed to mask their outdated opinions about gender roles until after she got married. Up until that blessed day, OP was always treated as a guest in her partner’s mother’s home. Once they tied the knot, however, her new MIL and SIL fully expected her to join them to cook all day in the kitchen while the men relaxed with each other. They knew OP hated cooking, and when she offered to help in literally any other way besides cooking, they shamed her in front of everyone and claimed her husband was being ‘spineless’ for standing up for her. In-laws sure can be crazy sometimes.
