[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother does this.  It's irksome, but I know that she truly can't help herself.

"I'm going to make some sloppy joes and freeze it for you.  I'm going to need to go out to buy BBQ sauce."

"We have BBQ sauce.  A full bottle. Right there."

"I don't like that kind"

"But...you're not eating it. You're doing it as a kind gesture so we have a meal in the future."

"You'll like it with the other BBQ sauce better."

Everything is like this.  I just ignore and let her go on her merry way.  [/quote]

OP here, funny you mention BBQ sauce. When DH and I first started dating, she came to visit him and we went grocery shopping together. I picked up a bottle of sauce, and she immediately looked at the nutrition info and said “wow, look at all the sodium and fat it has”.

I can’t tell if these comments are innocent or if they are a judgement on my capabilities. [/quote]

I'd vote for innocuous.  Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by ignorance or lack of self-awareness.  [/quote]
