WIBU to loose it with MIL next time?

[inspireme]

So on Christmas day at my SIL's I started plating up DH's dinner, as all my sil's were doing for their DH's. My MIL went to grab the plate off me and said she''d do it, I said nicely, no it's ok you get yours, as she had already done PIL's, she said no I'll do it, once again I said it's ok u get your own as I had the plate in my hand and had already started it, so cue the too- ing and fro-ing of "I'll do it" "no it's ok you get your own and sit down" Etc.

So after a few of these i had to give in (as i knew it was gonna end in a row) and let her do it, I know its really trivial but it's typical of her not wanting to let go even though we're married with a DS.

The main reason I wanted to do it was the fact that she never makes vegetables for anyone as she doesn't like them and assumes everyone else doesn't too, when DH loves them so I knew he wouldn't get any.

She has also done this before regarding DS, one example is when Im about to feed him she insists on doing it to the point that I have to give in to avoid a row! (DS has reflux and is v hard to feed, and gets annoyed when other people do it)

AIBU to think that if u keep pushing people and insisting on doing things that they clearly don't want u to do they will eventually loose it??

So WIBU too loose it the next time she does this??

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww ! ark at er !

and l was just gonna wade in with my tuppenceworth ( not sure what all this dialects about but maybe some of you ' psychologists ' will tell me ) and say - l would ave pulled as ard as l could then suddenly let go.

M-i-l on floor - job's a good un .

OP if you're still here, which I'm sure you're not , my sister still bears the burn scar on her left forearm where our mum wrestled the plate of dried-up turkey from her out of the oven because she wasn't dishing it up fast enough.

We often naughtily use it to extract guilt from our mum. Why don't you try that or just let it go?

btw the phrase 'plating up' suggests you've been watching too many cookery shows and I will judge. Similarly: the school run which should be 'taking the children to school' and 24/7 which means 'all the time'.

When one wishes to flounce from a thread in order to occupy the moral high ground or do the ironing, one is often better to spell the final (allegedly) stinging insult correctly.
