Telling me what to feed her grown son, my DH.
DH shared some health news (nothing too crazy; just elevated levels of something he should keep an eye on). MNMIL immediately goes into her deeply deeply worried, stressed, god knows what she's thinking mode. Then turns to me and starts telling me what I should and should not cook; gives me a potion recipe and tells me to give it to him at least 2-3 times a week. She keeps going on about this; meanwhile DH has moved on to a different topic - NBA playoffs and having a great fun conversation while his now worried sick mother is giving me how-tos of taking care of him.
Combine this with my own red flag personality of not wanting to do something when I'm unnecessarily directed to do it - especially from her. LOL I mean he's my DH, and I have every intention of caring for him AND myself and being health conscious for the sake of both of lives together.
Just a worried mother; I get that.. I just listened and nodded my head while she rambled on. But like - just tell him directly; I'm not her replacement mother out here to baby him and spoon feed him healing potions like she did. I'll do that for my own baby if I ever have one.
Vent session complete. Lol.
