Aindrea Sorchaa month agoI'm a 30-year-old woman in a committed relationship with my boyfriend, who is 26. His mom, in her 50s, has a strong passion for cooking and prides herself on making everything from scratch. She doesn't work full-time but does grocery deliveries a few hours each week for some extra spending money. Due to a challenging childhood, I've worked hard to achieve independence. I manage all my own bills, have a successful career in my field, and also teach part-time at a university. Balancing two jobs means I often don't have the time to cook meals from scratch. When I visit my boyfriend's family, I usually bring along healthy, pre-made meals from a shop I love. However, his mom frequently asks, "Is that made from scratch?" I always respond politely, saying, "No, I got it from this great shop, XYZ." While her tone isn’t aggressive, her repeated questioning is starting to wear on me. It’s becoming frustrating enough that I’m considering cutting back on visits. If you were in my position, how would you handle this situation?126
