    i’ve only just recovered from dinner with MIL and BIL the other night

    MIL was grumbling about dinner, I asked if it was too hot, she said yes, it hurt her

    I said i added no spice at all . she said nothing

    then she ate dessert and said it made her feel better from the terrible stomach ache dinner gave her…lol

    next week she’ll order a hot curry from a restaurant …lol

    BIL kept on licking his knife, even after I glared at him

    since he insists on eating like a 1 year old, a 2 year knows better, if there is a next time I will chop his food before hand and give him no knife

    the conversation was just as riveting and social

      If mushrooms are on the menu next time they visit I wouldn’t blame you at all if you know what I mean.

        She has her own definition of good.

        Good is the opportunity to win over someone.

      Nothing like repeated backhanded comments.

      Must be so infuriating dealing with that.

      Hope you get to treat yourself with some self care for awhile.

          Haha you really can’t win with her can you?

          It’s clear nothing you do will make her happy.

            I think dying might please her for a while. 🤣

            Until she realises she won’t have such a free hand to bad mouth me , that people will be offended and will remember the nice things I have done.

              She’d still complain about the funeral casket and come back to haunt you about it, you know it!

      That sounds very stressful. I vote for you cooking no more meals for these people. If they want to see you, arrange to go out to a restaurant instead

        Not once. In fact he will often side with others, might join in attacks and might keep attacking when they are gone.

          What an a-hole :( I think he should cook the dinners himself or take his relatives to a restaurant if that’s how he’s going to act.

          I’m sorry you’re dealing with that.

          Not sticking up for you, that’s disappointing.

          Go over to your her house and complain about her cooking. Does she cook for you at all?

              maybe she’s just jealous that she can’t cook like you and she’s taking out her insecurity by belittling your cooking.

              But that’s just me speculating.

      Heheh… next time serve completely bland unseasoned food, not even added salt. (Condiments and salt on the table, she would just have to openly reach for them.)

      Then smile sweetly and ask about her tummy.
