I live with my 53 year old Aunt (I'm 30)--and we get along VERY well. We're both single. I pay rent & utilty bills (which helps her out alot) , and we each buy our own food.
I have a VERY stressful job as a teacher's aide in a tough school, but my Aunt is retired and home all day. This may seem strange; but I like to eat dinner alone and have the kitchen to myself. I like to read the paper & eat in peace and quiet, which I find relaxing. In the past, my Aunt cooks & eats around 7pm--while I usually eat dinner around 6...But recently, I decided to eat dinner at 5pm. All of the sudden, my Aunt has started cooking dinner at 5pm. While I'm eating, I hear the the clanking of pots & pans, along with her moving back & forth around the TINY kitchen. I find this VERY annoying and I dont know why! When I asked her why she's cooking so early now--her feelings were hurt & she got upset. IS IT STRANGE THAT I'M ANNOYED? AM I SELFISH FOR NOT WANTING TO SHARE THE KITCHEN?
