She has always been okay with me, until my inlaws moved in a month ago, since they sold their home to move to Argentina for the next two years.
They will be here one more week after today. It started out fine, but slowly, she is beginning to make me hate her. Here is a list.
1. Does not like the way I cook. I cook all meals, btw.
2. Does not allow me to tend to my own kids. She thinks she can do better.
3. Does my dirty laundry and washes dishes before I can get to them. She is also making me feel bad about that.
4. Does not like the groceries I buy, and went out to buy her own.
5. Does not enforce the rules that I need enforced in my home, and the four-year old is beginning to rebel against me. She also prefers grandma to me now.
6. Always in my way, and reorganizing my stuff.
Aside from this, let me tell you specific examples of just yesterday. I was making fried sweet potatoes like my grandmother used to make, cutting them into chip-sizes and frying them in butter, ading brown sugar to taste. She asked why was I not boiling them, because she had never had them fried before. Her tone was what stung. I told her that she'd better get used to strange foods if she was going to live in Argentina.
When they were on her plate, she acted like they were not cooked through, and pretended to have a hard time cutting one with her fork, especially since I had not given her nor anyone a knife, since it was not required. She voiced thisto the family as she was pretending to slice through a piece having a hard time doing so.
Last night, I was making some horehound tea to be used in the candy I am making with it. I found alot of recipes, including horehound ale, that is still drank in small villages in england somewhere by what this report said...
Anyway, after making the tea, I began making chocolate candy. (hard version of fudge fomr an old Hershey's cookbook dating back to the fifties...)
I made it, and set it out for eating the next day.
Today, she had a piece, and began to complain to me, saying that she wished that I had not ruined it by adding the horehound extract. I only laughed and walked away while my father-in-law explained that I never used horehound in the chocolate, and that her tasting horehound in it was only due to her thinking it was there.
Anyway, I am suffering and cannot take another week. She is a guest in my home and should be respectful enough to eat my food without complaint and let me handle my businesses in my own home.
BTW...I am a student while my wife works, until I graduate. That is why I am at home all day. This is summer so I only have two classes, only two days a week. I guess you wanted to know that.
