...always, what should I tell her? I go to university from 8 in the morning until 7 at night, as I am studying my PhD. My in laws have moved in with us from Germany. I have a 2.5 year old baby at home. My husband has lost his job and is on unemployment benefit so we can't afford to send my baby to the daycare from last month.

My mother in law has not cooked anything from the day she moved in, basically she is starving my baby at home as she is at home with her. She expects me to cook for the whole family dinner and tomorrow's lunch when I get back from the university, or she forces my husband to buy fast food for them to eat.

How can I tell her that she needs to cook for my baby? I have talked to my husband twice and he doesn't seem to have the guts to tell her. What should I do?
 
Your MIL is a GUEST in your home. It's NOT her job to cook for the baby. It's YOUR HUSBAND'S job to take care of the house and child since he's not working. Once he's working again, you will go back to putting your child into care where the caregiver will feed the baby.

She isn't "forcing" your husband to do anything. He's just a wimp that won't stand up for himself, or you, or your marriage.

Sorry you married a loser.
