Stay at hotel in front of neighborhood to have safe space for when they go loco. But only reserve said room 1 nite at a time. Expect you to reserve said hotel daily despite manager, daily, telling you there's no vacancy.

Also asking you to find flights daily to other U.S. and international destinations everyday with no intention to actually book.

Dont answer phone till 5pm and say "I'm at Tysons mall. I'm not done shopping but I will call you later when I am ready to be picked up." (during rush hour and dinnertime).

Come doused in a bottle of Chanel No. 5.

You need to google "boundaries" and "setting limits." Oh, and "Uber."

Using all Whole Foods groceries except the meat which was from my friend's hipster butcher shop, the total was $40. Now this isn't a traditional lasagna, it's butternut lasagna, so I'm not sure how to compare. For the record, I used store brand noodles when I prefer homemade, but there are a whopping five kinds of cheese, just not a ton of it. I'd call it really tasty, but not fancy.

Did you round up to $40 or down to $40?

This was to go with other breakfast I was making this morning but we ran out of coffee from last night so I ran out to get beans and when I came back, SIL, BIL and their 3 kids ate all 8 croissants and left the empty box on the counter. They didn't leave the three of us even 1 to share. Then they sat there waiting for me to make coffee. I can't wait for them to get the f*** out of our house.

Did you say something along the lines of, "you saved us one right?" or
"you ate them all?!" or
"oh ha ha ha, you ate them all, right. Now, where are the rest!?"

If this happened in my house, for sure they would have heard about it

Mother brings tons of cheap unhealthy food, it takes over the fridge and pantry.

This drives me crazy. 500 calorie croissants from a can. Monster cookies with icing from Food Lion. Meanwhile she can't get off the couch without a boost. We didn't eat that stuff when we were kids.
