Dirty Rotten Son Of A Witch

Ok he's not rotten but my husband feels the need to spend every weekend with his mother. He does most of the outdoor work for her which I can understand(his father passed away 2 years ago and she's older). I have no problem with a Sunday afternoon. He, however wants to go for the whole weekend.

The thing that irritates me is he knows we don't get along. She never liked me for her son and it's always shown through our 3 years of marriage. Well, I sure the hell don't want to spend every weekend where I'm not wanted but I also don't want to spend it without him.

I've talked to him about it and he feels it's his obligation to be there for her. I think when he put the ring on my finger his obligations should have switched to me a little more. Don't you think?

I want him to cut down the visits. I would never keep him from his mother but he needs to realize his mother can hire a lawn person if she needs it every week. She doesn't need him there 2 out of 7 days. It's hurting us.
