Re: Rant-a-rama

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.

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

Big Hug 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...

"You may have noticed that I'm not all there myself."

Re: Rant-a-rama

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 ROFL

Big Hug 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*

That was the biggest bonus of my divorce... getting rid of the IN LAWS

Re: Rant-a-rama

Laughing 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 Frustrated

Re: Rant-a-rama

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

Re: Rant-a-rama
If I were you, I would cook on off hours when she's not in the kitchen (and if it's convenient for you). Then just heat up the food when you're ready to eat it in the microwave. Just b/c you're staying with her doesn't mean your life has to be living hell there. I'm sure she agreed to let you guys stay there, so she has to compromise in some ways. When you're having people stay in your home, you don't have to make their stay there miserable. After awhile, I think she'll cave in and either make food for her clan or just let you cook on the previous agreed upon days.
To rise again from the ashes.....what an understatement.
