My evil side makes me want to put laxative in her milk.
take that, you stubborn lady!


from me too. it's just going to be that way until you get a place of your own...guys mothers can be nutty. just be polite. make your food. if she wants to cook extra, that's her problem...

I agree Critter.... It's hard as a woman and wife to just hand it all over to someone else but, I also know how bad it can get when you dont. We had family live with us for 2 years. She was and still is a very very difficult person. Don't get me wrong, I completely know where your coming from. I used to get lectured from my ex- mother in law for not making my then husband brownies from scratch but the box kind. OH know! *rolls eyes* One Easter after I served "boxed" brownies my ex-mother in law started to get baking ingredients out of my pantry and cupboards to make "her" brownies because mine just wouldn't do. What did I do? poured some wine and left her to cook on Easter in a hot kitchen. whatever
to you. If it were me, I wouldn't eat her food, I'd make what you were gonna make for yourself and hubby. But I'm stubborn like that *shrugs* 
she doesn't even give me enough time to be in the kitchen. Literally she's there from 5pm til about 11pm. She has a TV in there and everything... it's her kitchen. She's peed all over it and marked it hers..
My hubby and I have gotten into plenty of fights because of her. and we've only been married a month and two weeks

You guys are right. I'm just gonna let her do it. If she wants to be stubborn, that's not my problem. 

Just keep dreaming of your own space soon. hang in there hun I know it is tough! hugs
Yeah do, and keep us posted. I always like to hear these MIL stories, I had one, I know what its like, and she was also a cooking nut too.

She'll get her feelings hurt if I do that.. She's quite a character. You're right. never can be pleased. My school knowledge (psych classes I take) tells me talk to her, and point out that what she'd doing is making me feel uncomfortable, and I want to help her because she's 62 years old and I know she's tired. Plus I like cooking. I'm not a great cook, but I can't learn to be better unless I practice right? Tell her I understand she's been the head of the kitchen for years and years, but sharing won't cause her world to fall apart.
