I, (F32) married my husband (M35) six years ago. I met him through a competitive soccer league. I played in university and he played semi professional before he moved to North America.
I have made an effort to learn how to cook meals from his country and have several cookbooks. He never complains and has praised my cooking often. We have cooked meals together for dinner parties and no complaints.
I am currently pregnant with our first child and his mom and sister have come over to be here for the birth and help for a while.
So the problem is that whenever I'm cooking all three of them have started coming in and changing stuff around. It doesn't matter if I'm making something from their country or not.
They have started coming in and saying stuff like " oh that heat is too high/low for this meal' and they will change it. Or adding ingredients, or things like that.
When my MIL/SIL cook they get all offended if I offer any suggestions. My husband says to leave them alone because they know what they are doing. But he won't give me the same courtesy.
So I've started walking away from the kitchen as soon as they change anything.
I will simply I walk out and go on to the deck with a sweet tea and enjoy the sunshine until it is time to eat.
Now they are complaining that I m making them do all the cooking and just sitting there doing nothing. I said that it was there choice to help out with that meal and I appreciate their help. My husband says I'm being petty and vindictive but I told him he said to let them help. So I am.
I am sitting on the deck right now watching them fight because when I walked out they forgot about the roast and now it is dry AF. I'm thinking I might go for a drive and grab a burger while I'm out.
AITA?
