[quote=Anonymous][quote=Gambit]So my dad has been with his GF for about a decade now, so I’ll refer to her as stepmom or SM. She is annoying the hell out of me. I have plenty of glassware in my home.  Yet on their last visit, they bring down two pint glasses for us to keep in the freezer for when they are visiting and drinking beer. I already have plenty of beer mugs and pint glasses that I keep in the freezer. I find it a bit annoying that she’s saying my glasses are not good enough. Gotta bring her own. 
I’ve always felt she was a bit entitled, but this was just another annoyance thrown on top.   When taking a drive somewhere, she has to have her door opened for her.  I get a gentleman is supposed to open the door for a lady, I’m very big on that.  But she’ll stand/sit there waiting for you to open her door, even when it’s inconvenient. Like if my father has to get a bunch of bags out of the car or carrying them to the car. She’ll just wait there for him to open the door like he’s a chauffeur. I wouldn’t care as much except she’s done that a few times when it was just she and I going somewhere.

When they are visiting us or we visiting them, she’s always making comments about our parenting; telling we’re doing things wrong. I don’t mean like the way some parents make suggestions on how to do things. I mean she’ll translate my son’s utterances to, “That’s right Tommy, tell Daddy you’re feeding me wrong.”   At which point, I just want to punch her in the throat. She makes comments like this on an hourly basis.

We’re planning on going up next week to visit for a four-day weekend. She called us up a couple days back to say that we should go to the supermarket to get a few good cuts of steak. This way we can season it up the way we like and bring it up to cook.  DW cooks steak in a great, but different way. SM loves it and was basically saying we should buy some meat, season it, pack it for travel, bring it to her house, and cook it for her…… WTF?  I’m considering canceling the trip.  Or staying at a hotel, and only visiting the in-laws, not her and my dad.  But that would not be fair to my dad.

I think tomorrow I’m going to call my dad, and tell him that he needs to talk to her. I don’t want this to get to the point where I can’t stand her anymore and it ruins my relationship with my dad.

Observation: These are all really annoying and passive aggressive things she is doing - but I have to say, if it were your mom (and not your step-mom, or more accurately, your dad's long term gf) they would not be as annoying. They would still be annoying, but you'd be more inclined to just accept it because "that is how she is". [/quote]
