[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tea poster reminds me of my MIL. She is healthy and able-bodied. She refuses to accept that DH and I don’t drink coffee, and therefore don’t set it up for her or make it for her. We have a standard drip and ground coffee, plus her preferred creamer on hand. She makes a pot of coffee for herself every day at home, but somehow expects us to make it for her even though we both work full time and have two small kids.

Welcome to our home. You may help yourself to anything in our kitchen. If you want coffee, help yourself. It’s pretty much the least you can do when we have cooked, cleaned, shopped, and are busy taking care of the kids. We provide a huge Thanksgiving meal and then she’s put out that she has to brew her own coffee to go with pie. NO ONE else drinks coffee with dessert—no one. (And we have 6 other adult guests for the Thanksgiving meal.) [/quote]

I'm a tea drinker. A fairly fussy one, too (I have high standards). I bring my own tea with me when I travel. If someone wants to drink something specific, they should bring it with them, not expect others to have what you want.[/quote]
