[quote=Anonymous]This would make me very annoyed. My MIL would never do something like this (she is an extremely deferential house guest) but my mom is somewhat similar and it drives me up the wall. She is just very possessive of it and even though she only visits once a year, she'll show up and start messing around in the kitchen like she lives here. She also does this thing where she insists on going to the store "for" us when she arrives and stocking our fridge. It's like she thinks I'm 18 and need help with this basic stuff. She doesn't buy things that she wants to eat, she'll buy staples for the pantry and like a gallon of milk and a loaf of bread. Which I guess would be great if we needed those things but we never do. Plus she'll buy the wrong stuff -- whole milk instead of skim, white bread, sugary cereal we don't eat, etc.

I hate it. And she's really condescending about it, too. Like "Oh, silly, I'll show you how to feed your family." I'm 44. My kids are 9 and 7. They eat a million times better than I did growing up. She's just being tiresome and can't let go of the idea of being the matriarch and being in charge of everything.[/quote]
