kizdropwell, its not just you living there - so is your wife. and if she belittles you in front of them that is showing you total disrespect and you should have a talk with her. obviously you are living there for a reason whether it be financial or to help her parents out.

Jane MarpleI’m French Canadian. In my society a son-in-law living with his wife’s family would be seen as lazy, opportunist, weak, irresponsible, freeloader.

sunshine11He would be seen as a pushover and weak example of a self sufficient provider. To live in a situation as you describe would be a living hell for most any man who sees himself as an adult capable of providing for his wife and family.
