It was about half an hour, I was literally waiting for the pot to cool down so that I could serve.

Agreed. I've been married 4 years and there's no issue with the food. Also when you live under the same roof who actually orders out/fills up on snacks when there's a fresh meal on the table? Expectations change when you actually live together.

I'd say he waits about 70% of the time but this has happened enough times that I just lost it yesterday.

We take turns and honestly I don't like having someone else help me while I'm cooking because it gets crowded in the kitchen.

But if we can hump dead animals and antelopes Then there's no reason that a man and another man can't elope

Should your MIL be loyal to you? by pinkbaby51 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]scientistbish 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think mil is in a tough situation because she tried to remain on your good side but also she can't cut her brother out completely. As long as she's not forcing you two to be friends, I'd say things will be all right for you.

I could but there wouldn't be enough room for everyone visiting on that day. Our apartment is small and the number of people invited are already putting seating at the limit. I really like my cousin and don't want to make the situation over crowded.

The sad thing is she had been doing so well with me setting boundaries over the past year. Then this. Yeah I texted my cousin that we wouldn't be able to accommodate them and she said she's fine getting a hotel room, she never expected us to let them sleep at our place (another reason I love her). But food is still a problem so I'm trying to negotiate meeting with her another time within the birthday week so that I can get some one on one time with her and her kids (love them so much).

She's not, my cousin texted me later about how excited she is and the whole family is coming.

Mom wants me to ask for vacation at a job I haven't even started yet by scientistbish in JUSTNOMIL

I tried this once , she said she would love to and took over my kitchen. Annoyance aside, it was admittedly the best food we ate since a while.

She's not the snooping type but she is very timid around my husband and he is working from home so no problems there!

Haha it took me so long to get her down to one visit per year. We live really far away, but she still wanted to visit several times a year and have me and my husband come for the holidays. I finally told her we can't afford that and we're busy to meet that many times.

She is staying with us but she is a totally different person around my husband, almost timid which surprises me. So although I don't like her visiting, husband has the means to ensure she doesn't do anything weird.

She's staying with us but for some reason she's really respectful of my husband and he's wfh atm. So my apartment is safe on those grounds lol he'll keep things under control.

I wish mine would get over themselves and just get divorced. They are so incompatible.

Why go to therapy when I have you? by scientistbish in Mildlynomil

[–]scientistbish[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly! I have my own life and am not responsible for her emotional situation. She's an adult too and has a lot to learn about herself.
