What makes a good Catholic daughter-in-law?

[allana]

I hope i’m posting this in the right place…

I would really like to know what role should a daughter in law be to her mother in law, biblically?

my mother in law was a hindu converted to christianity, and i know for a fact she doesnt like that im Catholic, she insists that i re-baptize which i obviously refused to do. since then, she treats me like a personal slave, she has me dying her gray hairs, i have to style her hair before mine every morning before church, she makes me baby sit her sisters kids without askin if im busy, she gets up at 4am every morn and expects me to do the same, when im sick she gives me even more work to do and lots more. i feel like if i refuse ill be disrespectful or not doing my duty or something like that…

i could really use some help. thanks

Being Catholic has nothing to do with it. You married her son, you live under her roof and you accepted everything that comes with both relationships.

What country do you live in? It may be customary to do what you are being required to do in some societies. In the U.S. this would probably be considered slavery. What does your husband think about it?

i didnt realise i posted this here too, this post can be found in the ‘Catholic living’ thread under ‘family’

Thanks Dave, i really accepted her behaviour, its time to tell her to do it herself now.
