I needed this thread!! PIL are leaving tomorrow and it's all I can do to not ask them how early they're leaving. I can't have them for this long again.
Non-stop talking combined with constant interruptions when someone else is talking.
Repeatedly proudly saying that they don't eat lunch but hovering around us the whole time when we eat lunch. They eventually cave in and have toast but would absolutely refuse if I offered what we were eating.
Along the same lines, refuse snacks and then when we get it out, they'll just have a "little" slice.
Not waiting until everyone is ready to start eating before tucking in.
Helping themselves to seconds without checking if anybody else wants some.
"Helping" and hovering in the kitchen. Running a cup under a tap does not constitute a clean. Now I just let them wash up and put it all in the dishwasher when they're not looking. A new kitchen one is leaving the recycling by the recycling bin but not actually putting it in. Constantly asking if we have enough milk when we clearly do.
Faux politeness as PP have said - "either coffee or tea is fine; do you mind if I get some water; etc" FFS, just tell me. I spent more time going back and forth to get an answer than just getting a teabag or coffee out.
Deciding things for my DC. E.g. "you can have pudding if you eat your tea". No, that's my or DHs job.
Not asking for things they need. They went out to buy tissues when we have a whole cupboard of them and bringing their own full length mirror when I've asked repeatedly if they need anything else in their room. We have all this, they just need to say.
I could go on and on but starting to wonder if this is becoming outing. Very therapeutic. Thanks, OP!
