[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LOL DH’s aunt from hell is exactly like this and 100x worse. We stopped hosting because of her as did my SIL. Hosting Thanksgiving for that side means cooking and buying a massive amount of food but that’s not enough, you have to make more than twice as much as needed. It gets up to 30-40 people so the poor hosts are struggling with 2 turkeys, 20 lbs of potatoes, 10 lbs f sweet potatoes, making a gallon of gravy, several Costco pies, etc etc. it’s awful.

She was angry the last time because there simply wasn’t room in our house to set up a full leftover packing table. She brought cheap restaurant take out containers and labeled them to return to Erma’s house ( ensuring a visit in her mind). She and her husband load up multiple for themselves and scurry it out to her car. She literally yells across the room that those turkey carcasses are HERS!

The best one is that she also takes whatever she and her husband want from the refrigerator and she tries to take cookware. I didn’t say anything as she was squeezing with piggish delight in finding cheese and other stuff she likes in our fridge. I did say enough when I caught her grabbing my good stockpot and Dutch oven. She had the nerve to say ooooh you can just come over and get it in a few weeks. I had to tell her no, it isn’t leaving my house. [/quote]

Sounds like my aunt. Except she wouldn’t limit herself to the refrigerator, she would go to my closet and pack up clothes of mine for her kid and then random books and toys from my room too. It was traumatic to go over to her house and find my cousin  wearing my clothes that I’d been looking for. My mom wouldn’t limit herself India I wasn’t being generous enough.

As an adult, we are always the ones bringing tons of food to friends’ homes or make enough for people to take home if we have them over. I think we are generous — but I don’t give my siblings anything. [/quote]
