My MIL feels I am her maid that should be doing all the chores

Ask Mamalette My MIL feels I am her maid that should be doing all the chores
Mamalette Support Team Staff asked 4 hours ago

Mamalettes, my husband and I live with his parents. While I raised the issue before marriage, my husband told me that he wanted to save money so he can start building on his piece of land and so we should live with his parents for one year. At the time I thought no problem since I knew it was just to save up some money for 1 year so he can build our house. Now that 1 year has turned to 6 years. We have 2 children and I am heavy with another. Now my problem is that my MIL feels I am her maid that should be doing all the chores in the house even when I am 8 months pregnant. She asks me to cook for her and her husband, wash their clothes, their bathroom and toilet and even sweep the whole house daily. As if that is not enough, even when my SILs and there families come during holiday, my MIL would not allow her own children do anything, she would always tell me to do all the chores including cleaning up after them when they are done eating. The oldest daughter is just like her mother because that one would even call me to come and pack her children's plate. It is the younger one that usually helps me out and prays that my husband gets a good job and move out of their parent's house. My husband is also tired but there is nothing he can do, he is trying his best but nothing good is coming for him still. Now the thing is, I applied for a job before I got pregnant and they just called me to come and start the work but I am heavily pregnant, I am scared that if I go they won't employ me in this condition. Please I need prayers from the house and advice.
