I work from home so I typically do the majority of the cleaning; I don’t mind because I’m a bit of a clean freak anyway.

What I found odd is when my wife’s family from Mexico were visiting she turned into a maid and would shoo me away from things like washing a single dish (for example).

Not sure if it was cultural or what but it definitely threw me off — I don’t want her family thinking I’m making her do everything all the time.

100% a cultural thing. Depending on what part of Mexico they're from, she may not want them to know that you do any chores. If a woman can't handle all of the chores herself, it's seen as a failing.

Super fucked up, but Latin America is in fact super fucked up.

Oh, that's interesting. Could be a family thing. Could also be just a good host thing.
