[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Goodness.  I get that FIL is being a jerk.  But, guest in my home, I'd make the coffee.  Takes five minutes.  Seems to me like OP was proving a point.

Or, as others say, OP can say to DH or MIL, "I have to change my BLOODY MAX PAD, would one of you please help out by making a fresh pot of coffee?  I'll be back when I've finished feeding the baby."[/quote]

IT'S NOT 5 MINUTES. You don't get it, PP. It's a way of being. 4 day visit? Something like this comes up every 2 hours. Imagine you have a newborn and all this "5 minutes" shit going on around the clock.  Frankly, I think OP is too patient, making the first pot invites requests for second. Why waitress at all in this situation? I'd farm this out to DH. You want your parents to be here? Their needs is 100% your responsibility. Groceries, clean sheets, microwaving whatever MIL pretends she can't microwave for herself, "visiting", chatting, entertainment, and yes, coffee at 6 am should they deem it necessary.  FTM+an infant does not equal service staff on call.
