Spent a week with the in-laws and it wasn't as bad as usual.  FIL is fine, but MIL treats everyone like they're 5 and doesn't want to let anyone do anything for themselves, which drives me batshit.  She sets a table for breakfast every morning -- knife, spoon, fork, napkin -- even if everyone is just eating cereal and toast like they always do.  The last thing I want to do when I wake up is sit down at a table to eat with everyone so I always skip that, which bothers her.  

One morning, I was getting some leftover pizza out of the fridge and she comes into the kitchen hurriedly and asks, "Do you want me to heat the oven up for you?" and I kind of snapped at her ("No, I don't want you to heat the oven up for me!") because I was standing right next to the oven at the time, plus I eat cold pizza for breakfast regularly, which my wife told me she had already told her, plus who heats up leftover pizza in an oven anyway?

The day after Christmas we got up early to start the 12-hour drive back and she's bent out of shape because we're not eating breakfast at the table with knives and spoons and forks... Wife and I are in the kitchen talking and she comes in and says, "We have spoons if you want yogurt!"   I blurted out "YOU HAVE SPOONS???!"  which got a disapproving glare from the wife, but now gives me something to annoy my wife with every day since -- every time my wife says she's hungry, I say, "We have spoons if you want yogurt!" 

Nobody in my family eats breakfast anymore now that my parents’ generation has passed. I’m the only freak that wants/needs something, anything, to eat before lunch. I get a little testy about that sometimes.

Yeah, she sounds like my Mom. She means well.

She definitely does.  I'm the asshole here, but she has huge control issues, and my whole childhood was spent fighting against my parents' control issues, so it's just a bad mix.

If everything isn’t done exactly how my MIL thinks it should be done then she instantly becomes a passive aggressive bitch and ruins the mood of any gathering. There’s also no pleasing her either. You can set the table wrong or sit in the wrong place or have the tv too loud. She’ll find something to ruin her day and then try to ruin everyone else’s. Luckily my wife has always noticed this and hates it more than anyone.

I have an uncle who has recently got into the habit of not closing the bathroom door all the way when he goes in there.  And if you don't close it all the way it slowly opens back up all the way because the house isn't level.  Taking a piss is one thing, but on the most recent visit he has upped his game to shitting with the door open.  And it is within the line of sight from the dining room where everyone can see.

I'd probably suck your dick if you served me a spread like that. 

Well not really but I'd do the dishes. Maybe give you a back rub.
