mrs rubble Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 The single sister in law, should go on holiday somewhere far, far away and let them cook their own. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Tayla Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 married , single, divorced doesn't carry any bearing to the art of cooking. If someone wants to cook , let em! Now if someone is being drafted into cooking without being asked, then yes, its probably going to have less welcoming attitude to the guest..... What is usually the meal for boxing day?

eye of the storm Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 My first thought is questions. Was she asked, told, or was it assumed because she had done it before? If she was told and is cool with it then fine, if she was not cool with it then she should mention she has other plans. Some people love throwing parties and cooking for company. Some don't. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
