I am very close to my son, daughter in law and 2 grandchildren age 4 and six. I stay over one night a week, as part of child care. My dil works three days a week and my son works from home. He has an office separate to the main house. They have a very good income.
They have divided chores so she is responsible for the house cleaning (also cleaners every 3 weeks) and he does ALL the cooking and feeding of the children.
The house is dirty. My bedroom was last cleaned in February when I was isolating with them due to Covid. I have changed the bed and dusted since but don’t have time to do more.
The children have beautiful clothes but she dresses them very scruffily and they are often grubby.
My dil is very over weight and I think this contributes to her lack of interest in the home. She has a beautiful mum and sister who are always beautifully turned out.
Bottom line: I’m worried that she’s depressed and don’t know what to do. My son adores her and continues to take the domestic load. Help please.
