[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh also, they have shown me that a comment they have a problem with will be rehashed for literally decades. So it feels unsafe to say much of anything, lest they latch on to it and drag it out later. Once literally 25 years ago when my DH and I were dating and before I knew the rules, I said I wondered if my DH would like something they had just purchased. It was a dumb thing to say and I was a dumb 25 year old. They STILL bring it up. "Remember when you said Chris wouldn't like that XX we bought! Then he loved it! Hahaha". Lesson learned.

18 years ago my husband's aunt made a political comment they didn't like. They still talk about it. Sooooo tiresome. [/quote]

Once my MIL came to visit and asked for crab cakes (we are in baltimore). I offered a few places that had great ones for take and bake. She said no, she wanted me to make them. Me personally. It was so weird. I just went ahead and did it, and she still (10 years later) talks about how she once made me make her crab cakes and I was SO MAD!

I was perfectly polite about it. If she sensed how annoyed I was, why didn’t she just say “oh nevermind actually let’s get those Faidleys ones you mentioned!” It irritates me even more that she noticed my irritation but chose to ignore it because she had some weird desire that I cook for her [/quote]
