[quote=Anonymous]Every single time I talk to my MIL my stress level skyrockets.  She is coming for Thanksgiving.  She has no concept of what goes into planning a dinner.  She thinks I have time to drive her around to stores on Wednesday so she can shop (and no she cannot drive herself.  She is from a small town and driving here scares her).  She doesn't get that the kids are still in school on Wednesday, refuses to sleep on our guest bed, and insists on sleeping on our sofa in the family room.  Now she just told me she wants to make a pumpkin pie.  First, I already planned to make one.  Second, MIL is not allowed to cook in my kitchen.  The last time she did she left a HUGE mess that took me days to clean up (we are talking food inside my cabinet doors, crap everywhere etc...).  She gets upset when I clean up behind her.  So, I cut her off from cooking several years ago.  I cannot have my house destroyed and have mice and rats like hers does.  Now she is giving me some lecture on how I NEED to invite my estranged aunt to Thanksgiving.  I cut ties with this family member because the stress and drama where to much for my family.  So, no I have no intention of inviting her.  Are the holiday's over yet because my stress level is at maximum already?[/quote]
