I need an open letter

I sent you an email asking for grocery suggestions for many reasons.

1) you do not live here. you do not know where the store is and I am not going to go with you. I want to have grocery shopping out of the way when you get here.

2) last time you were here you insisted on cooking and then got all bent out of shape that our eggs are brown, our tea is loose, our produce is sometimes unidentifiable ( not to use, but it comes from a CSA and isn't always "pretty") and we didn't have half the crap you require for cooking.

3) You're going to be here by yourself for a few days while I'm in the hospital and my husband is with me and our new baby. Visiting hours actually will apply to you, so while lunch can be eaten with us (yummy) breakfast and probably dinner will leave you on your own. I'd rather not spend the first few days of my sons life listening to your traumatic cooking/eating adventures.

So answering my email with "FIL likes bacon and eggs, but don't worry we'll fend for ourselves" REALLY just makes me look forward to the minute the morphine drip goes in.

Please. Help me. Help me help you.

I don't need a lot. Just a few suggestions will be great.

Thanks,

Your daughter-in-law who is looking for her patience right about now.

PS - those cookies are lactation cookies. I'm not afraid to say that if I come home and find you (or FIL) have eaten them all I will wish engorgement on you. Just sayin'.

    LMAO! I'm imagining grandpa with boobs.

    I say you get them some bacon and eggs and when they start b*tching two days after you've had your son let the hormones take over and tell them what you really think. Devil

    I wish. But they're flying in from Texas. Who knows what they *will* be allowed to bring!

    Yeah. Luckily Husband is good about telling them when they're being ridiculous. I'm just going to hide...and use the "I'm tired/it's time to boob Bunny" excuse a lot.

    On a positive note, I do have to say that before Eve was born I thought certain people were going to be a hand full. In reality though, everyone was super helpful and not their typical high maintenance selves. I hope it will be the same way with your ILs.

    I feel the need to store away the phrase "our eggs are brown and our tea is loose" for random quotage :)
