[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] in laws frown on coffee use and don't have any. I'm very flexible and don't complain, but when I come often and stay for multiple nights, it's hard to not have coffee. [/quote]

What does "frown on coffee use" mean? They won't let you have it? They make snide comments? They're LDS?

Either you make your own and say, calmly but firmly, "I really like having coffee in the morning. I don't expect you to drink it; I just want to be left in peace while I do," or you say, the night before, "I'm going to go out tomorrow morning and grab coffee and a bagel at X, if that affects your calculations while you're making breakfast."

Don't make it a big deal. [/quote]

Lol I was the pp here. I've been with DH since we were in college, so they've always treated me a bit more like a child than if I would have dated/married him older. Anyways, they think coffee is bad for you. They don't have a coffee pot, so making my own isn't an option. They're rural, so it's not like there are Starbucks nearby. I normally manage to survive until around 11 and then I run to a gas station for coffee. I have occasionally bought coffee the night before and just drink it cold at breakfast time. I've also made my own before, but they don't have milk, cream, coffee or a coffee pot so it's not easy. I'm not high maintenance (see the part about gas station coffee) but it's the little things.

In my family we pretty much drink coffee all morning and then have more at 4pm and then some more after dinner. DH and I just like 2 cups in the morning. [/quote]

Those Folgers instant coffee tea bag thingies aren't too bad--and definitely better than no coffee at all! All you need is hot water.[/quote]
