Family differences part 3

ReturnOfKuus

Mr. Kuus's family has this thing they do where when one of them (or unfortunately us) throws a party, they all think they're cohosts who need to come early, "help", and stay in the kitchen and "help" for the majority of the party.  This help mostly consists of hovering a scant six inches away from the real hosts and asking repeatedly what they can do, then apologizing profusely when the answer is "get out of the way" before starting the process all over again.

Drives me up a damn wall.  They come right back when you take them by the shoulders and escort them out, too.

please do not tell me that they try to cook in someone else's kitchen, because a red veil will form over my eyes.

I have been ass-checked out from in front of my own stove.

I always tell them that they can do the dishes.

WHAT THE WHAT.  why did you not knife someone in the eye to prevent them from doing it again and just leave the knife there as a warning to others?!

what the what, man.  i do not cook in another person's kitchen.  okay, well, i cook in my mother's and my sister's kitchens but i helped set those up and they can cook in mine, but no one else goes through there.

Only my mother can cook in my kitchen.

I alost always have a horrid job saved up if it gets to annoying...'Yes, pit these cherries.  Nope, don't have a pitter.  Here's a knife and a cutting board."

MIL drives me batty with this.  The worst though is when she does my dishes.

My way:  There are certain things that I DON'T CARE HOW YOU DO IT, in my kitchen they don't go in the dishwasher.  Now, run a full sink of water and wash it, rinse it, dry it, put it away.  Welcome to Varuna's kitchen!

Her way:  B!tch and complain about why I don't put my pots and pans in the dishwasher b/c that's how she does it, put the dishsoap ON THE PAN and then wash it, rinse in the same sink and set it on counter still wet for someone to grab and dry and put away.

It makes me stabby.  I can usually get her out, but not always.
