[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is way too much.  I would leave.  Weirdos.[/quote]

You'd leave? People on DCUM amuse me. OP is the guest in this home and yes, MIL is being a fusspot but not nuts or OCD. If OP is this incensed to her core over this silly thing, OP is going to have one hell of a time when there's a baby and MIL (or, God forbid! DH himself, or anyone else remotely in OP's orbit) does something that gets on OP's apparently very easily upset nerves. OP seems to be a humor-free zone about this, which begs the question: About what else might she be so uptight?

MIL isn't demanding that OP wash all these glasses. MIL is being a neat freak, sure, but in her own home, and creating work for HERSELF, not for OP. But instead of rolling her eyes a bit and joking about it with DH and letting it go, OP has to make her water A Hill To Die On.

Before someone leaps in to yelp, "But! But but but what about the water bottle that is OP's ownnnn!" Yes, that was silly, but FFS, tell MIL once firmly, using your words like an adult: "Hey, I get that you worry about glasses being left around so that's why I brought in my bottle. Please don't move it or clean it -- I have a particular way of cleaning it and will do that myself. Just pretend it's invisible!" But nah, OP would rather be offended. .And again---MIL is not doing this at OP's own home. You can be a freak at your own place, and guests can leave if they want, but leaving over this? OP had better be ready to leave over every other quirk she encounters too. In fact, just send DH to see his folks solo from now on. OP must not find much to like in her MIL if this one ridiculous thing would be such a big deal to OP. [/quote]

You know what? OP can also just not visit MIL, ever. And if her son remembers to visit her, then sure, he can do it alone.

Hey, OP, sounds like a good plan. You can all meet up at a neutral location or she can come to your place under your rules, if you are going to stay involved in this. Jesus. [/quote]

You are wound very tight. Scarily so. [/quote]

:lol:   Yeah, I can bear seeing a glass on a coaster for more than three minutes, so. [/quote]

Nah, that's not it. The extreme over reaction to a glass being moved is bizarre. If you're so chill to be cool with a a glass resting then what's with the rage with it being moved?[/quote]

Are we talking about one glass, or six glasses in a row every time I put it down, plus you going through the guest room to confiscate my water bottle? Because you may be reading a different thread.[/quote]
 
It's a freaking water glass. Who really cares? The people raging about it being moved are as nut as the MIL. Different side of the same coin.[/quote]

Hey, it's probably time for you to count the number of screws in your cabinets again. Better get on that. [/quote]

Maybe you need a good screwing. Might help your anger problem.[/quote]

Oh, you’re a teenager. That explains everything.[/quote]
