I know I'm probably being silly but would like to know if this would annoy anyone else!
PILs are staying for a few days. They're nice people and make themselves very much at home when they visit.
Yesterday I got home from a long work day and a squashed commute to find MIL standing on a kitchen chair, head in my cupboards and every single cup and mug we own scattered all over the counter and sink. She said she'd "found the baking soda" (which I had planned to use today for baking) and was scrubbing the tea/coffee stains from all the mugs. We have quite a collection from DH's previous hobby of bringing one home from every place he visited (he travelled a lot).
The remaining bit of counter space had MILs electric toothbrush plugged in, two bags of oranges she'd bought, a large scales for weighing her meals and her phone charger.
The kitchen table had two newspapers, a coat, used tissues and what really set my teeth on edge, her handbag. I hate handbags on tables, they've most likely sat on the floor and I don't need that where I eat.
I know I'm probably BU and PMT isn't helping but was I being nuts in feeling rage at this?
I read somewhere before that commandeering the kitchen is an attempt at control!!
