i'm at the end of my rope.....

hello all who read.....
i have never written to anyone for advice before, but i'm sort of at the end of my rope. if anyone can help or even thinks they may be able to help me to understand, please reply.
my oldest daughter and her family (husband and 2 kids) have moved here from another state and are waiting to move into a house. (when they find one) they are looking in ernest. my son-in-law works every day except sunday, my daughter stays home with the 1 yr old and the 5 yr old goes to school. things would be ok except for one thing. my daughter is constantly complaining and griping at my son-in-law. now, don't get me wrong, i know that couples argue and fuss. but this man adores her and does most anything she asks. he works all day and comes home, only to have to feed the baby and change her before he can even shower.
maybe i'm old fashioned, but i feel like they are headed for disaster if she doesn't change and i'm so frustrated with trying to talk to her i don't know what to do. i don't know if i should just sit back and watch it happen or how to approach the issue. i have talked to her about it and continue to do so, but it doesn't seem to be soaking in.
i'm at a loss as to what to do......my son-in-law tries to talk to her too, but she just gets angrier.....
please reply if you have any suggestions or comments......thank you......gwen
