I had to remind her that I had a mother who wanted me to do things for her already and that was her son's responsiblity, not mine. I understand she doesn't have a daughter but that's not my fault. I have a mother that calls me enough, I don't need someone else mother getting on my nerves. My mother is the ONLY mother that gets special treatment from me.

If so I'm #1, I get the phone call after he gets it and doesn't pick up. I've gone so far as to hand him the phone and then hear (because my phone is loud) "I called her, I didn't call to speak to you" but if I were to answer it would be "is he with you? Well he didn't answer his phone." and he can be at work. LOL It's a trip.... Does this apply to women too? If so I’m #1, I get the phone call after he gets it and doesn’t pick up.

"Within reason" brother. Having near death experiences isn't about being able. That's something else entirely. Thanks for the comment.

But my father-in-law has been the reason I have been electrocuted twice, fallen out of tree with an operating chainsaw, and lost nearly every Sunday doing manual labor on a house I do not own. Because I was too nice to say no in the beginning, I have fallen into the role of Mr. Greenjeans. Though this can be flattering in the beginning, you realize that at some point your are being taken advantage of. Does this bother me? Hell yes. Will I keep doing it? Proabably. I actually like my father-in-law and realize that this is what he wanted if he had a son. But I do it because I love my wife. BTW- You might find that it is usually a father-in-law/ mother-in-law with no sons that take adavantage of the indentured servitude. Aki E,
