Good for you! Shame he had no backbone to tell her to butt out.

Well once it was squares of paper in some homes. I remember seeing a lady cutting the squares quite perfectly. Your method and action noted

The whole over vs under thing with toilet paper rolls has been such a major contention in households since tp rolls were invented!

Are you sure you are not describing my Agnes MIL.  You would not believe how much trouble I had with her especially when my babies came.  She wanted to raise them for me in her own way, which was pretty gross.

Good Morning

Pat, you weren't alone in dealing with things like this.  I've never understood why people have to be so hard to deal with on a regular basis.  I think it was your house and you should have things the way you want them.  Your mother-in-law had her own house to worry about.

Good morning

I can relate to those triggers as I'm sure that most of us can. Your mother-in-law was a real tool, and mommy dearest had that snippy comment coming. I also place the toilet paper so that it also rolls out facing me. The other direction seems backward, but I'm fairly sure that Jesus has no opinion on how we place our toilet paper.
