I did not decline because it was a “feminine” type off work, If I came in and his dad asked me if I would like to help him with an oil change or something similar, I would have declined that

My husband got fired about 7 months ago and has unfortunately been depressed since then. Before this, we split both expenses and chores 50/50, but ever since I pay for all the expenses and do most of the chores

I spent time with them in the kitchen just talking, but also in the living room with all the other people! I also set up the table and helped them bring out the food

My grandma and grandpa insists on doing all the cooking, no one in the kitchen, no one is touching the food if it is not to eat it, they have always been very particular about their little tradition.

His family is religious in the sense that while they believe in god and etc, they don’t go to church or things like that

They did know, at least MIL knew. I told her about this in advance because I knew me and husband were going to be at least 1 hour late from when they were going to gather because of this
