I've told her as diplomatically as possible that I do my shopping weekly and plan what the family will be eating.
She comes over about twice a month to look after ds whilst we are at work. I always leave food for him but shoe always insists on cooking as she wants to give him 'fresh' food. The things I leave are dinners that I have cooked and then frozen in baby portions at the weekend.
This will really sound bad but her cooking and mine are very different I'm not better, she's not better we are just different. She likes mince, meat, potato type things whereas I don't. I like rice, salad, chicken type dishes.
AIBU to feel undermined? It's happened again today, I'm home early and the dinner I left is still in the fridge and baby got something 'freshly cooked'.
I really don't know what to say.
She is doing us a massive favour by looking after ds, I know this but we don't just get on well generally.
Every time she comes over she has to invite someone to come and keep her company, this bugs the heck out of me, please tell me if I'm sounding precious but I don't like not knowing who will be in my house when I get home.
It's the end of term thank goodness, I must sound v highly strung.
Am ready for a flaming
My own mum says just accept it graciously and say nothing- is she right? I'm crap at hiding my annoyance.

AIBU and ungrateful to hate MIL bringing food when she comes over
