New Quarantine Apartment With Step-Mom.My new boyfriend has just moved into a new quarantine apartment with a step-mom, so I knew that we’d run into some problems. First, she is a total snob, but second, she has very authoritarian tendencies. She would not let us cook anything in the house unless it was a certain kind of food. I’m used to that from my mother’s background, but this step-mom made it quite clear to me just what she preferred to eat, and what kinds of things to steer clear of. This has always been a problem because she could easily get mad over a simple thing like a little bite of pizza or a slice of warm chocolate cake.
However, all of her moodiness seemed to disappear when she moved in with me, and this turned out to be a good thing. The new quarantine apartment was much more spacious than our previous apartment, and we were able to cook most of the things that we had not been able to while we were living alone. The first few days, our step-mom made a lot of requests, but since I was busy with cleaning up her mess and trying to make dinner for her, I did not mind honoring most of her wishes. As time went on, it became obvious that she was a genuinely nice person, and I did not have any qualms about letting her move in with me.
The hardest part about living in a new quarantine apartment with a step-mom is that she makes most of the food herself. She makes delicious nutritious meals for us to take in each day, and also does all of the shopping for us. It can be hard sometimes to know where to turn for help if you need it, but we have always been able to rely on her for good and cheap grocery shopping.
