A little while ago my future MIL asked ne to go pick up a table that someone is throwing out about ten blocks away. Apparently its large but it has wheels.

After a long work week I dont want to go wheel around furniture through the streets on my satyrday morning.

There are at least a dozen teenage boys who hang out on the block that she knows who are friends with her nephew. I said she could go ask a couple of them and I will pay them to go get it.

She refused to ask them for some reason and I refused to go get it myself.

Im resting.

I work and I dont need to go garbage picking anymore. Those days are behind me.

Now everyones mad at me like im lazy. I worked for the money im willing to exchange for the service of carrying back the table. If that isnt good enough then what is?

You'd think someone with a 176 IQ would be smart enough to tell her he'd do it, walk down the street, tell the neighbor kids he'd pay them to do it, go to the bar to have a few drinks and watch the game while they go get it, then go home with the table in tow and be the hero.

If only there were professionals you could pay to move things for you.

Not anymore

 
She let you move into her home rent free for a long time as far as you've told us when you were out of rehab and jobless.

If she asks you to lick her feet, you do it.

You deserve a break. How can people ask you to do stuff after working an entire week? That is just ignorant of her. You work full time!

This is in response to you and bender.

This has absolutely no relevance to the issue. I pay rent and remodeled their kitchen for free.

Helping someone does not entitle you to demand any ridiculous request from them. Only sociopaths think that way.

Ive never helped a person and felt they ever owed me anything for it. Only a cretin believes such things.

 
So how restful has refusing turned out to be? Not very it seems. As stated above pick your battles. This isn't a hill worth dying on.

When did you move in?

When did you start paying rent?

How much do you pay?

How often do you do chores around the house?

Its a matter of principle at this point

And what is that principle exactly? Do you expect to get married and then say well I'm not doing anything around here cause I done worked this week? Because if so you should save yourself the divorce attorney money and just not bother.

Well, as long as you only help out when it's comfortable for you to do so and/or you feel like you owe the other person then you're golden.

The principle is that I dont want to be seen taking someones trash so I offered to get the task done in an alternate way.

It was refused fot some reason so why do I have to be blamed?

Except this time?

 
Based on his stated IQ, I feel like we are witnessing the last few pages of Flowers for Algernon here. It's very sad.

 
How much do you love your fiance? Love is about sacrifice. Doing a favors like these go a long way. If the MiL was cracking the whip every day and have you perform difficult tasks all the time I could understand being peeved. A one off favor like this is a no brainer.

But it was a table . . . that someone else didn't want. And everyone in the city would be looking at him. Can you imagine the humiliation?
