Do your in-laws just consistently praise your husband for things you’re both doing? Last night we put the kids to bed while my in-laws were starting to eat dinner. I did one kid and my husband did the other but I was done first so I sat at the table with them. My FIL literally complained that I was siting and my husband didn’t get to sit down and was still “running around” doing bedtime. But we both contributed evenly to the meal and bedtime so what does that even mean?

Then MIL deliberately thanked my husband only for the meal we both cooked. Initially I thought it was just a testament to the double standard between men and women but now I feel like they try to undermine me in my own house. They frequently compliment him for doing basic parenting and housework shit and don’t acknowledge when I’m doing the same things and I’m starting to think it’s an intentional way of dismissing me
