I Couldn’t Figure Out Where All the Meals My Wife Cooked Were Going—Then My Mother-in-Law Revealed the Truth At first, I was glad my mother-in-law was helping us out, especially since our son is often ill and can’t go to nursery. My wife asked her mum to look after our grandson, and Renata agreed, on the condition that she could return to her own home every evening to rest. Sometimes we have important things to do in the evening or want a night out, so we ask a neighbour to help and my mother-in-law heads home early; we don’t want to tire her out. Everything was fine at first—the house was tidy, our son was clean and fed. But then Renata stopped waiting for us to come home in the evenings and left before we got back. My wife always prepares enough food for a day or two, and every month, we give her mum an envelope with money to thank her for her time. But lately, we’ve noticed all the food my wife cooks keeps disappearing. Renata doesn’t eat much, and our son eats even less. I asked my mother-in-law about it, and she confessed: my father-in-law comes by in the afternoons and she gives him food to take home because he doesn’t have time to cook at night. So, he eats our food too. I honestly didn’t know what to say. My mother-in-law goes home every evening—is it really so hard to cook something herself? It’s one thing if my father-in-law joins us for dinner once a week, but every day? The problem is, there’s often barely anything left for our own dinner. My wife stays quiet, but when I did the maths, hiring a babysitter might actually be cheaper. I’m not happy with my in-laws’ behaviour. My wife asks me to keep quiet. But here’s the thing: don’t they realise we have expenses too? We pay her every month for babysitting, and yet they still eat all our food. Has anyone else been through something like this?

I couldnt figure out where all the food my wife prepared kept vanishing to. Eventually, my mother-in-law
