I'm not asking for a daily baseboard scrubbing, just a weekly vacuum, bathroom cleaning and laundry. What matters is that you both decide on shared standards, then both decide how to satisfy the spouse with higher standards without straining the marriage. Hi, Carolyn: My husband's stepfather wants to control us based on what he thinks is best for my boys. Boundaries don't work. Finally, you say “boundaries don’t work,” but he can’t control you without your consent.
