You are certainly blessed if this is the only thing that upsets you. I wish I had a MIL.

believe me its not the ONLY thing she does
I just was wondering as I was always taught to take my plate and dishes off the table at home and automatically do it when I am a guest somewhere else. She just always leaves her glass or Mcdonalds bags, etc. I didn't know if I should expect her to do it or if proper etiquette was for her to leave it laying around. My boys are taught to clean up after themselves. My mother leaves her glass too and she was the one who taught me to pickup my dishes at home or at somewhere else.

I agree... I was bought up, if I am the host I would do it..and I prefer to pick up the dishes...I know where it goes...in the dishwasher...better than the old days when it went in the sink to be washed.
|
so when I stop by her house I should leave my glass on the table and leave. I would have to make a conscious effort to leave it for her. But if that is what is expected I guess I should.
|
i'm of the camp who does not expect guests to remove their dishes. in fact, i prefer that they don't. i don't like dishes left in the sink... i rinse them and stack them neatly to the side for washing. i like the sink to be left free for other uses until i can get the dishes washed.

say she stops buy with a beverage from McDonald's sits down at the table, talks for a while then goes home but leaves her trash behind instead of throwing it out on her way out the door. One time when she did this with a whole meal from McDonald's I ran the bag out to her before she pulled out of the driveway and said "oh you forgot your leftovers" (bag fries).

I just wished I still had my MIL lost her on motherday this year she was a great mil I had the best MIL and FIL both r gone. Don't sweat it as something as simple as that.
|
I used to treat my MIL like a queen. I loved her. She was a good woman and I would pick her dishes up anytime.

thanks for any insight you can offer me. Kim |
It may have just slipped her mind....besides it is such a small thing to waste time over. She is just visiting. Enjoy the visit and go around later and clean up.
