Normally I’d say that they view you having a glass of water out as leaving a mess. But that doesn’t explain the water bottle. That just seems vindictive because it’s not in their line of site and it’s not like they are missing a glass that needs to be washed.

Needing to constantly drink water isn't good. Could be a sign of diabetes. Or in OPs case gestational diabetes.

I think it becomes a habit for people, not necessarily that they MUST have water because of a medical need.

But pregnant women do need more water than they would normally drink. It’s easy to become dehydrated when you’re pregnant.

But OP says to leave her cup there so she can refill. Sounds like she's leaving empty cups around. Which isn't really necessary. She's in a home with constant access to water. It's not hard to get a new cup and put the previous one in the sink when she's thirsty. There isn't a shortage of water or cups.

How do you know how many cups there are? OP isn’t intending to dirty multiple cups and “leave them around.” She is using ONE cup. As any guest may do in the home of any semi-decent host. She’s even trying to keep it out of the way in the guest bedroom.

From OP:
I asked them to please leave my water cups alone so I could refill, and they said “we don’t keep cups and glasses out.”

I assume you know that "cupS" implies more than one?

And I assume YOU know that:
1) It’s a multi-day visit (stated in the original post) so more than one day at this house = more than one cup will be used
2) Because they keep taking the one glass she is trying to keep, she has to get another one. Moron.

She has to get another one? Oh Lord. Sounds like torture. She will have to walk a few feet to take another tiny sip of water in a different glass.

Out of curiosity if someone was sitting in chair sipping water and they put the glass down (with water still in it) to get up to go to the bathroom. What would you do?

It depends on the person. If it's one of my kids I know they're not coming back to finish that drink. So I clean it up or put it in the fridge for later. They will also tell me "they aren't done yet" which is just a way of getting out of cleaning up after themselves. Only the in-laws know what OPs habits are and why are they responding the way they are.

NP. Same question, but it’s an adult houseguest. Let’s say it was cocktail hour before a dinner party in your home. Someone has a glass of water they are actively drinking. They excuse themselves for the powder room but will be back in a moment. What would you do?

Usually glasses would be cleaned up. If I set down my glass and come back I can't be sure someone didn't take a sip or confuse it with another one. If I was to leave I would ask my husband to hold my glass. I wouldn't put it down and expect it to be there when I got back.

You can’t be serious. If I were sitting around a living room with friends at a dinner party and asked my husband to hold my glass for me while I visited the restroom for three minutes, he would look at me like I had two heads. What, you think someone’s going to roofie your drink at someone’s house in Bethesda?

Sorry I didn't give you the answer you were looking for.

Sorry you are mentally unstable and don’t know how to host or act semi-normal in social settings.

Luckily I don't know slobs who leave cups lying about waiting for kids or dogs to know them over. You do you.

Of course you don’t know anyone. No one wants to be around you.

Keep trying. But OP announces to the room that she won't be deprived of her personal water bottle is rude. Instead of just following a basic rule of the house she's a guest in. But, manners and polite tones aren't really your thing. I get it.

The water bottle part of this is SO weird. Seems like OP did what she needed to do to get MIL to stop incessantly washing her bottle.

Needing to constantly drink water isn't good. Could be a sign of diabetes. Or in OPs case gestational diabetes.

When I was pregnant with twins, I drank a ton of water, including overnight. You wouldn’t believe how much water it takes to maintain two amniotic sacs. I did not have diabetes or gestational diabetes.

Again. Nobody is stopping OP from drinking water.

That response wasn’t about OP. It was for the person who thinks a pregnant woman who needs to drink lots of water must have a medical issue.

Normally I’d say that they view you having a glass of water out as leaving a mess. But that doesn’t explain the water bottle. That just seems vindictive because it’s not in their line of site and it’s not like they are missing a glass that needs to be washed.

Needing to constantly drink water isn't good. Could be a sign of diabetes. Or in OPs case gestational diabetes.

I think it becomes a habit for people, not necessarily that they MUST have water because of a medical need.

But pregnant women do need more water than they would normally drink. It’s easy to become dehydrated when you’re pregnant.

But OP says to leave her cup there so she can refill. Sounds like she's leaving empty cups around. Which isn't really necessary. She's in a home with constant access to water. It's not hard to get a new cup and put the previous one in the sink when she's thirsty. There isn't a shortage of water or cups.

How do you know how many cups there are? OP isn’t intending to dirty multiple cups and “leave them around.” She is using ONE cup. As any guest may do in the home of any semi-decent host. She’s even trying to keep it out of the way in the guest bedroom.

From OP:
I asked them to please leave my water cups alone so I could refill, and they said “we don’t keep cups and glasses out.”

I assume you know that "cupS" implies more than one?

And I assume YOU know that:
1) It’s a multi-day visit (stated in the original post) so more than one day at this house = more than one cup will be used
2) Because they keep taking the one glass she is trying to keep, she has to get another one. Moron.

She has to get another one? Oh Lord. Sounds like torture. She will have to walk a few feet to take another tiny sip of water in a different glass.

Out of curiosity if someone was sitting in chair sipping water and they put the glass down (with water still in it) to get up to go to the bathroom. What would you do?

It depends on the person. If it's one of my kids I know they're not coming back to finish that drink. So I clean it up or put it in the fridge for later. They will also tell me "they aren't done yet" which is just a way of getting out of cleaning up after themselves. Only the in-laws know what OPs habits are and why are they responding the way they are.

NP. Same question, but it’s an adult houseguest. Let’s say it was cocktail hour before a dinner party in your home. Someone has a glass of water they are actively drinking. They excuse themselves for the powder room but will be back in a moment. What would you do?

Usually glasses would be cleaned up. If I set down my glass and come back I can't be sure someone didn't take a sip or confuse it with another one. If I was to leave I would ask my husband to hold my glass. I wouldn't put it down and expect it to be there when I got back.

You can’t be serious. If I were sitting around a living room with friends at a dinner party and asked my husband to hold my glass for me while I visited the restroom for three minutes, he would look at me like I had two heads. What, you think someone’s going to roofie your drink at someone’s house in Bethesda?

Sorry I didn't give you the answer you were looking for.

Sorry you are mentally unstable and don’t know how to host or act semi-normal in social settings.

Luckily I don't know slobs who leave cups lying about waiting for kids or dogs to know them over. You do you.

Of course you don’t know anyone. No one wants to be around you.

Keep trying. But OP announces to the room that she won't be deprived of her personal water bottle is rude. Instead of just following a basic rule of the house she's a guest in. But, manners and polite tones aren't really your thing. I get it.

DP. I love it when people like you lecture about manners and polite tones on … dcum. Are you new here?

The water bottle part of this is SO weird. Seems like OP did what she needed to do to get MIL to stop incessantly washing her bottle.

OP is a troll. Come on.

Then why are you so bothered?

Why are you? Are you the one screaming in caps and name calling?

OP, clip it to your waist

OP, you need one of these:

OP is pregnant! Water is super important.

Not chugging water constantly.

NP. The whole point of OP having an active glass or bottle of water is that she isn’t “chugging” it, moron. She is taking a few sips, setting it down, and coming back to it later. Did I go slow enough for you to follow along? Did I confound you with too much logic? You really are stupid, aren’t you?

Other than the name calling I agree with this. I have 6 people in my home and we all always have a glass of water out for refilling or using throughout the day . I can’t imagine us using a new glass every time lol. I do tend to try to keep them in one certain spot on the counter and we each have a color of coaster so everyone knows which one is theirs . When we have guests, though, all bets are off and a mess is a welcome price to spend time with people we care about .

I love it! Camelbak or a beer helmet, but with water bottles instead of beers.

NP. It’s f-ing weird to clean up your guest’s cup while they’re still using it. It just is. Not sure what the deal is with the person ranting otherwise.
