in my case, when i was doing IEALTS i had a classes of 4 hours & i got 2 papers in homework every day.for which i need 6 hours. so i was having 10 hours per day for study & 1 hour for traveling & one hour for my personal troutine like , bath, eat & all & so i had a fixed schedule of 11-12 hours at that time i refused to do house hold work & told my parents in law to keep a mad as they can afford. But at that time my FIL told me" if you want to live in this house only you have to do all works,study in night if u want i dont care for your study. otherwise got to ur mummy's home." & my husband sent me at my parents' home instead of keeping a mad during my exams..
& second time i got a fever & i refused to get early & do work. at that time my FIL had also sent me at my parents'home by telling " you must have to wake up at 5 am & you can only live here if u r able to do work, we r not ur servent to give u a service in your fever."
So which is the cruelty in this. what i had done or what my FIL had done.
