I know that Im ONE OF THEM! ARGH!
Yeah they can be helpful when needed, but butting their noses into places that don't belong is one thing that DRIVES ME CRAZY!
FIL is a control freak, everything has to be his way, even if it is not his house!
FIL is over today helping hubby work on the truck and my van. Kids are outside with them while I am inside trying to get some stuff done around the house.
I just got the kitchen cleaned up from breakfast but still had silverware and utinsels to wash, I always wash by hand, while everything else is in the dishwasher, running. I left the utensils in the sink and went to wipe down the stove and counters when FIL came in looking over my shoulders at what I was doing. He asked what I was using for cleaning the stove, I told him I always wash with bleach/water first then after drying it down, I wipe with Pine Sol spray or Mr. Clean Fabreeze for a fresher smell. He went on and on and on how I was doing everything all wrong. I told him politely thanks for telling me but I like how I do it.
Then he went to the bathroom and called me in. He complained that the toilet was brown inside. I told him that the well water is causing it to do that, not the lack of flushing. He called me a liar! Said I don't clean worth
I told him that if it was from lack of flushing, the brown will be STAIN, but it wasn't, and I proved it to him, stuck my hand in the toilet and using a finger, I wiped up parts of it and it came off easily, pulled my hand out and my finger had brown, sandlike substances at the tip of it. He walked away muttering.
Then he started complaining about the toys in the livingroom. I asked what's wrong with that? I got kids, kids come with toys. He said that they don't belong in the livingroom, they need to go to their bedroom. I was just at my endpoint and I was not feeling all that good today. I snapped at him that it was MY house and that I would have MY House the way I WANT IT TO BE and if he doesn't like it, don't let the door hit him on the way out!
ARGH! Sorry I just had to RANT! Had to get all this out before I explode 10x more then I should! He is still here helping hubby out but now he is staying out of my WAY!
