[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP has a reason to be pissed - why do old people always get a pass for breaking or damaging things in homes??

Every single time my IL's come to visit, something breaks.

They are worse than kids! At least kids can go to time out :P [/quote]

And they're the first people to correct you when you do anything they dislike or think is wrong. My mother can hardly contain herself when I boil water in her house because they're a "right" way to turn on her stove. [/quote]

But if you dare criticize one little thing, they start crying and saying you are an ungrateful child, how could you hurt them like this, etc, etc.

My inlaws come from Europe and they bring their own tea bags, their own canned vegetables (!!) and own gravy mix (just salty sludge really) when they visit. 
Because they can't bear to eat anything even a little bit out of their comfort zone.

So true. Reminds me of something I realized about my mother's cooking. She used to get a can of this special soup stock powder made in Europe from her old neighborhood. It was something she and my grandmother used for years.

Guess what was on the list of ingredients?  MSG  ;-) [/quote]
