trying not to tell my MiL do get stuffed today. Here's the story and a little rant:
Last night my FiL called us and asked us about a £22 meal deal from our local takeaway he said it sounded good and ordered it for his family.
Today we go to visit my MiL as the house was empty and she was bored. A family friend turned up and so we all got chatting. My MiL mentioned that she'd put that order in last night and was saying that it's good for what you get who ate what etc. I told her that we order it every so often between me and my OH and put some in the fridge for a meal the next day to save cooking. She told me that between 2 of us, that's appaulling. Now here's what got me. She was telling me and the family friend about who had what, here's what you get in the order:
2 11" pizzas
1 garlic bread with cheese
2 large chips/fries
2 large kebabs
3 pieces of SF chicken
1 2ltr bottle of coke.
My MiL and FiL shared a large kebab and a pizza between them, they put the pizza in the fridge and ate the kebab. One of my BiL's is 22 and ate a pizza and a slice of garlic bread to himself.....this is fine. My 12 yr old BiL ate a whole LARGE kebab, 1 large chips AND garlic bread to himself then DEMANDED a grave stone sized slab of chocolate from the shop for dessert.
So in her eyes, it's ok for a 12 yr old boy to eat that much in 1 sitting, barely pausing to breathe yet it's not ok for 2 24 yr olds to order that meal, put some away over night and eat 1 thing each?
On another note, I'm currently FUMING at her tonight because I was planning on scanning in my scan pictures from the hospital to show everyone. We caught a good pic of LO's face in the last picture so I'm desperate to show you all. When it came to looking for the scanner's cable and driver disc, they're nowhere to be found. I put anything to do with the computer either on my desk or in a suitcase next to it so I can keep everything together. I checked all around my desk and rummaged through this case but they're nowhere to be found. The only person who has cleaned up around this area is my MiL who has a nasty habit of hiding things when cleaning and not telling us where she's put stuff. I've called her and she's said she can't remember where she put them and that it doesn't matter. Well no, it does matter. I've been planning on getting these pictures up on the pc for ages and yet again I can't because she can't help but be nosy and fussy around our house.
On another note.....sorry....one of my OH's friends has just called and woken LO up. Guess who's settling her down to go back to sleep when he's off the phone. She knows not to call at this time of night.
All in all I've had a pretty crappy day......granted not compared to most but still......it's put me in a bad mood.
