I get we eat a lot of kimchi but like there is no possible way on this earth a family of four people (if you count my in law's household and ours since we live a floor apart) can eat 15 buckets (?) Of kimchi in a year. We literally still have lile three bucket full of kimchi from 2016 that i am not allowed to get rid of because we can still eat it.

There is no real reason we need this much kimchi, me and T more often than not eat out and my in-laws are only two people. Its not like we hold banquets or parties, the only other people that ever come are my brother in law and his family and thats just three people and we usually always eat out. I'd get it if it we donated part of it but nah man its just that my mother-in-law doesn't really know when it's too much. This doesn't only happen with Kimchi, every time they go to aunt's farm she comes back with enough food to feed a village, it'd be great if we owned a restaurant but like for real does our family need two garbage bags (the big black kind) full of Korean monster sized apples?? I dont even eat apples, T dont eat apples. Do we really need 1 full back of spring onions??? Or three sacks of 무? Our freezer still has three medium sized bags of pepper powder and two of minced garlic that thankfully somehow don't go bad, we have two big sacks of rice in our house two people cant eat this much rice i dont even eat two bowls of rice a week. Like am i the only one that stresses over this??
Don't get me wrong i love everything that comes out of aunts farm and i love my MIL's generosity, but the guilty catholic in me aches for the things that is bound to go to waste. I was taught to only get what i can use so i dont leave waste. really we dont need this much kimchi!!! I know for a fact because my kimchi fridge still has kimchi from past years. Also i am bitter because these motherfuckers are bigger and heavier than they look and i had to haul them all up the stairs by myself because T was late for work.
