It's not a sucky Saturday for me since DH is coming home.

LL, people probably talk about me too. Whenever I go somewhere I always ask if I can help. People always say no. Then I'll hear comments about how they did everything themselves. My MIL is like that. We go to her house and I'll ask her several times if she needs my help. She'll decline. Then she'll make some comment about how she's so tired from cooking the whole meal. I WILL HELP IF YOU TELL ME WHAT TO DO! Geez, I don't read minds. It's annoying.

Sounds like she prefers to be a martyr. 

 

 My MIL doesn't seem to offer to help until right as I'm about done.

 I always offer.  She will say no.  I feel it would be rude at that point to just go in the kitchen and start doing something.

 She did it again today.  Just as I was finishing dinner, she asked if I needed help.  I actually said, "Not anymore.  I'm done."  And her response was that she didn't want to be in my way.  I see where my DH gets it.

 Yep.  EVERY SINGLE TIME.  I'll be in the damn ktichen for an hour and she'll ask in the last five minutes.

If you offered to help my ex mother in law she would say no, if you tried to help she would sit down and cry that "people were getting in her way and they didn't know what they were doing." We stopped trying to help then she would cry that no one would help her. That woman couldn't stand not being the center of attention.

Okay see, I would be angry at my MIL if she were like yours LL. The difference between my MIL and yours is that when we go over there it's mostly men so I will hang out in the kitchen and talk to her. I ALWAYS ask if she needs help right away. I usually end up asking three or four times. She'll repeatedly tell me no it's easier to do it herself because she knows where everything is. I get that but if she wants a salad made she can bring me the ingredients and I can at the table and tear lettuce and and stuff. I'd be out of her way and not have to hunt things down. But she doesn't do that. And then at the end she will say she's oh so tired from cooking. Not my problem dearie.

If someone comes to my house for dinner and they say Can I help? I will have no problem telling them what they can help with if I need it.
