We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Pat, I can completely sympathize...

My mother-in-law, who has been to my house many times, naturally, does this every time. It drives me completely bonkers. I hate it.

However, I do see the side that everyone else has mentioned, that she's just trying to be nice, has been brought up to be helpful/pitch in, that she feels bad just sitting there, etc. So I do my best to be cheerful about it and let her help me.

It still drives me crazy however. I LIKE to wait on her. I LIKE to make her feel like she's the special guest and she can just relax for a change instead of having to do the chores. Funny, eh?

- Jen
