My In-Laws Treat Me like a Maid & Made Me Cook for Them While I Was Sick — I Took It up with My Husband

A woman, initially living with her parents-in-law to care for her ailing father-in-law, sought advice on Reddit due to feeling overwhelmed and unappreciated. Despite paying for groceries, utilities, and contributing to household expenses, she felt like an unpaid maid. When she fell ill and continued facing demands, she vented her frustrations, but her concerns were dismissed by her husband. Three months later, she shared an update revealing her decision to transfer her wages to a private account and remove savings from their joint account. Discovering she was pregnant became a turning point, as her in-laws exhibited controlling behavior regarding the baby. The final straw was interference in her baby shopping and unwanted opinions. Frustrated and feeling like an “incubator,” she moved out, initiated divorce proceedings, and opted to raise her child near her own family. Reddit users supported her decision to leave the toxic situation.
