Dear Marnie:
I think that your complaints are valid and you are not at al crazy (“Am I crazy?”). You really have been and are left out and ignored by your husband’s parents. They are rude to you and your husband should have protected you from such mistreatment, should have made sure it doesn’t happen by talking to his parents, by involving you in the conversation, by seeing to it that you are an equal and respected family member, not a servant. I am sorry that you are in this situation.
You talked to your husband about it and he says they don’t mean it. Well, he is wrong, they do mean it.
First thing I suggest you do is quit the job of being a servant to the people who ignore you, stop washing dishes for start, with or without gloves. What do you think?
