Did you say something along the lines of, "you saved us one right?" or
"you ate them all?!" or
"oh ha ha ha, you ate them all, right. Now, where are the rest!?"

You add some onions to to the old mashed potatoes, fry them up for breakfast.

Mother brings tons of cheap unhealthy food, it takes over the fridge and pantry.

This drives me crazy. 500 calorie croissants from a can. Monster cookies with icing from Food Lion. Meanwhile she can't get off the couch without a boost. We didn't eat that stuff when we were kids.

Yes! My ILs show up with vast amounts of food from Costco, they freaking love Costco. Gigantic cakes, containers of potato salad and slaw, giant containers of hummus and massive pans of cinnamon rolls. Completely fills our one fridge and cannot all be eaten. So wasteful and gross, plus my tweens gorge themselves on it.

If this happened in my house, for sure they would have heard about it

Oh in my house anything you want to eat like this must be hidden.

I just made a lasagne and was compelled to add up how much it cost me. Using all Whole Foods groceries except the meat which was from my friend's hipster butcher shop, the total was $40. Now this isn't a traditional lasagna, it's butternut lasagna, so I'm not sure how to compare. For the record, I used store brand noodles when I prefer homemade, but there are a whopping five kinds of cheese, just not a ton of it. I'd call it really tasty, but not fancy.

I am shocked and horrified. Have you not read this thread? You should know that any lasagna costing over $10 is an indulgence on par with Donald Trump's decorating scheme

Showing up at BWI at 11pm on a weeknight unannounced. Call says "I'm here" come drive an hour to pick me up and find a hotel I'm 80-something. . english 5th language . .

Stay at hotel in front of neighborhood to have safe space for when they go loco. But only reserve said room 1 nite at a time. Expect you to reserve said hotel daily despite manager, daily, telling you there's no vacancy.

Also asking you to find flights daily to other U.S. and international destinations everyday with no intention to actually book.

Dont answer phone till 5pm and say "I'm at Tysons mall. I'm not done shopping but I will call you later when I am ready to be picked up." (during rush hour and dinnertime).

Come doused in a bottle of Chanel No. 5.

Did you round up to $40 or down to $40?

Exact addition on ingredients that was a round up, but I didn't count the spices and garlic and olive oil that I already had on hand, so probably factually a round down.

You need to google "boundaries" and "setting limits." Oh, and "Uber."

Yes, I have trouble with boundaries and limits.
