Bev, years ago my DH also would mention his disapproval of how much time I spent on either the computer or some other thing I enjoyed that maybe did not think made much sense to him. I think some families want you to be constantly doing for them and get jealous of your spare time being spent the way you choose. After years of dealing with that I got fed up and asked them if they enjoyed the meals, clean house etc. Of course they replied that they did. So I informed them that unless I could relax and do something that was just for me (no matter what it was) that I was not going to be as good at serving them. They could make their choice. That was the end of that.
