Would You Have Eaten It?

I don't think it's fair the way they treated you either. When your husband gets home, I think he needs to say something to them about it - such as 'if you continue to treat my wife this way, we won't be spending any time with you in the future'. It's important to have it come from HIM, because they might take it seriously and perhaps apologize, unless they don't care if they never see him again. As your husband, it's his responsibility to expect (and make sure) that his family gives you the respect you deserve because you're his wife. I think they are rude for their behavior.

I know I don't think it was fair at all the way they treated me because of it! . They told the whole family that I was rude and I thought I was better than them because of it. I never said that!

Okay good I'm glad that I am not the only one! I just could not do it and I kind of felt bad but I just couldn't handle that. I would have thrown up all over the place and I think that would have been more rude than what I did.

I also want to say I am not saying this in a proud manner, because most of my life, my finances have not been good and we have been in dire situations many times, sometimes going without electricity or water because we couldn't afford to pay the bill. But when it came to what we ate, I'd never eat something that a bug has crawled on.. One time someone made a comment about a fly that has landed on some food and they ate it. They just said, "That's okay, he didn't eat much." My thought was, it isn't what the fly ate, but what the fly left behind that concerns me..I never saw the movie, "The Fly" but my husband has and trust me, you don't want to eat after a fly...

That was real infestation. Yes gross. Even poor folk find ways to control roaches and those that are content to live with them can live with them by themselves. lol

Yeah at least try to get rid of them! His sister would step on them to kill them in her bare feet, EW! I just could not do that, I couldn't. Unfortunately I was states away from my house or I would have left really quick! Yeah we had to clean out our things after because of course some of them did get in our stuff. Ugh, it was gross. They were in the food, the shower and crawled on you in your sleep!

That is exactly what I would have done. In fact, the very first day I noticed an infestation I would have brought insecticide to work the next day. I'm amazed you are the only one who thought of it. EWE!!

I'm sorry, that is tough. I hate cockroaches too! They are so super nasty. I don't blame you for bringing insecticide with you, I would have too.

Okay good, I am not the only one! Yeah if it was something that just tasted bad I would have dealt with it but that I just could not handle! Okay I'm not the only one that doesn't think I was being rude. I think throwing up when trying to eat it would have been rude!

Yeah I think anyone would do the same thing I did. I really wasn't trying to be rude but I just couldn't put that in my mouth.

Hahahahaha! I suffer from it too then!! I hate them and I am terrified of them. And the ones they had there actually bit! I was sitting on the toilet and one seriously bit my butt, I am not kidding. It hurt for a second! The ones they had in their house thank God never flew or at least I never saw them do it. I would have flipped out more if they did! Yeah I did it in the best most nice way I could by pulling my husband to the side and asking him to take me somewhere else to eat. We told them I wasn't hungry and we were going to the store. Apparently they didn't buy our story...

Yeah I thought I did it in the nicest way possible and they still got offended! Oh well, I couldn't think of any other nice way to do it. Plus like you said most people would have been a lot worse than I was. Their lucky I was so polite about it! It was nasty. We slept there one night and I had to leave. Roaches were in the food, in the shower and they would crawl on us at night while sleeping!

yes so true but why would they let it remain that way? don't they get sick or something?

Absolutely it is hygiene and about sanitary. They are very dirty and nasty. I will never go there again. Thank God I haven't been there for a while and I will never return there. I just can't. My kids will never go there either because I don't want them thinking it is normal and I don't want them being sick all the time...

Exactly, it's nasty! I was not raised around these kinds of things either. I was raised in a very clean home. Not spotless with 4 kids in the house but nothing like that! Ew. No I didn't shout it out or anything I just told them nicely I wasn't very hungry and told my husband in another room that I needed to eat somewhere else...When I told them I wasn't hungry they got ticked off and started rumors about me to everyone!

Yeah I think everyone would agree that I did the right thing and I don't think I was being rude about it at all. I was trying to be nice about it. They just took it personally.

They may have been embarrassed but chose not to show it by seemingly ignoring the problem. I had roaches in my first apartment, but they were manageable. Didn't see them until I started cleaning the place after I paid for it, and the rent was so cheap I just got some bug bombs and black flag roach killer. I saw some the first month I was there, for some reason they wanted to be social and when I went to get my coffee, one, just one, would be going toward my cereal bowl on the table. EWE!!! For a few weeks that happened. Just one would come and try to eat with me. I would kill it, so I knew it wasn't the same one. Sprayed some more BF and then there were no more, not ever after that. With such a heavy infestation as they have, it can take months to see results. They will have to switch poisons every time because the roach can develop an immunity to them. I heard great things about Roach Pruf, I think it was Andy Rooney that recommended it. Maybe you can have your hubby give them a can.

I absolutely agree with you. Honestly rosegardens they did not even act like they saw them. Like, they were so used to them that they just thought everyone else was I guess. I don't know. I would be so embarrassed that I would not let anyone come over until they were gone, thats me. But they didn't seem to even know they were there... They did buy spray and things but they were so infested at that point honestly they were just hatching more and more every day. So gross! I would have moved and moved quick if it was me. They were there before they moved in so if I saw cockroaches I would be like nope not living here.

What does this have to do with the conversation?

I was thinking the same thing rosegardens...

They are really nasty insects and I don't want to be near them much less eat with them! Thank you, I feel better about it now that I know others agree with me.

Hahaha! We had just gotten done with a really long road trip there so my stomach was aching or I wouldn't have been hungry after I saw that either! LOL. We did tell them I wasn't hungry and my husband took me to eat elsewhere. Apparently they didn't buy our story at all. =(

Thank you! I am so glad other people agree with me and don't think I was being rude...

Exactly. There is a way to take care of the problem and not let them get into your food! I could not eat there. There was just no way I could get it down. No way. I think they should have thought about if they had never seen them before how they would have felt.

Thank you! It was really nasty. They don't care about anyone but themselves to be honest. That's not being mean, it is honest. If you knew them you would understand. Thank goodness he never wants to go there again anyway because they are not nice people to me or our children...

It was the most nasty thing I have ever seen in my life. Thank you. I feel better after reading everyone else's opinions. They were starting to make me wonder if it was me being rude. It was my husband's sister's house. They were some nasty people.

I hate those things! They are nasty. I couldn't eat those things either but I understand it is different there than here.
