Hello woman I'm 42 three years ago we got together to live with my friend. We are both from different religions, but that doesn't stop us from getting along perfectly. The problem is with the father-in-law who constantly gets on my nerves and thinks that I am his maid, he is even waiting for me to cut bread for him. My husband and I constantly have a voice in our family problems. Not to mention that he is a big gossip, everything that is heard at home is taken outside. We live in the countryside and it's .... I talked to my husband about these problems, he gave him a remark, but then he did what he wanted. Please advice I don't want to be a maid.

Well, after 3 years, your cohabitation model has already been established. A little later you remembered to assert yourself and rebel. Now the only way out is to be absolutely categorical. To react as soon as his father tries to interfere in your conversations - to tell him that these are your things and you will decide them yourself and either leave the room or politely ask him to leave you alone. Your husband will also have to be adamant in taking your side. Everything you don't think is right to do at home - you just stop doing it. If he gets something dirty and doesn't clean up after himself - you leave him like that and he is later reminded that he did it and it is his duty. If he sits and waits for you to cut his bread - not only do not cut it, but next time do not serve him bread - let him take it himself. You can also directly refuse to talk to him anymore,
