Re: Queen of the kitchen

Are you married? If so, do you live with your MIL? If you answered no, you are not qualified enough to judge anyone who lives through this everyday. Putting up with this for a few days, maybe even years might be ok but if you have to deal with this nonsense everyday of your life for a very very long time, suddenly, it’s not a petty issue anymore. It becomes a very stressful situation because you have no idea when you will ever get to do stuff your way in your own home without someone CORRECTING what you do. Someone constantly watching you, making you feel so uncomfortable that you have to hide in your bedroom, try doing this everyday! There comes a time in everyone’s life when they NEED to live their life on their own terms. That time is usually when you have grown up, have a job, can feed yourself and your kids. Yet, parents or PILs still insist on correcting everything you do. There is no need for it. There is always more than one way of doing everything. Just because someone has experience doesn’t mean they have been doing it right the whole time. It’s wrong for parents and it’s wrong for PILs to FIX what their grown up children do. Parents need to let their kids LIVE and LEARN through their mistakes. They don’t need to keep raising you after you are married.

no i am not married, and all the scenarios you have mentioned in your post has nothing to do with the issue OP has raised, and my opinion that i gave was based on situations like OP’s(which was only one issue of different styles of cooking). and i would still count that as petty issue.
i also disagree that parents have no right to try to correct their children once they are grown up or are married. but i won’t debate over this with you since you have a different opinion.
