    "I specified that I needed the kitchen WEEKS in advance!!!!!"

    I'm getting sick of my auntie Karen :D OC So, in two days I am going to be selling flan at a church holiday market. Now, the way I make it, it's set in individual ramekins. It takes almost two hours to make one batch, so I made it clear to everyone in the household, even talking individually to set a schedule with everyone, to make sure that I would have the kitchen to myself today so I could make the batches of flan in time for them to be able to cook and set right.

    I told my aunt this multiple times. MULTIPLE TIMES and even made sure she'd be done. She was making some pie filling for the thing she's going to be selling and decided to start on Monday. No big deal right?

    Wrong. She decided she was going to make 30 jars worth of apple pie filling in two days and has been hogging the kitchen the entire time. At first I thought she would at least let me have my day to make my flan since I had clarified MULTIPLE TIMES exactly when I would need the kitchen- But no.

    She was already working on two more batches of pie filling, and on top of that she said that the kitchen wouldn't be free until late tonight- but the thing is- she's been working into the night for TWO DAYS NOW so chances are I won't have any time to make my flan during the day.

    I'm going to have to stay up all J night to make the flan because for some reason my aunt couldn't spare the time or counter space for me to do it now.

    She even had the audacity to complain about how I was rushing her and taking up HER TIME when I specified that I needed the kitchen WEEKS in advance!!!!!

    I don't know if this counts as entitled Karen behavior but for the sake of my rant I'm gonna say it does.

    Edit: Further context as to why I'm making the flan so soon before the market, it's because the flan takes around 8 hours to set and it can go bad anywhere from 3-6 days after initially being made so I have to make it as soon as I possibly can manage before the market so it's sellable.

    kiwimuz. Your Aunt definitely fits the Karen category as a super shiny member. I would have just tossed all her stuff out of the kitchen and out the door. You organised time and the second she went into your time she should have been gone.

    AshKetchep OP She just got mad at me for putting a plate in the sink just now so if I did that she'd likely me :D

    Con sandy154_4. or... you could not make the flan and when asked, you could tell the truth

    AshKetchep OP. Oh I just got what you were saying. The problem with that is that this is the only way I can make money around the holidays and if I don't sell the flan I won't have money to get presents for my brothers and my dad.
