Jill, you have just run into a person who wants to be 'special' and 'catered
to'. Such people at the extreme are often trying to control the enviroment
and make everyone pander to them. Yes, it's how a 3 year old acts when they
are first establishing independence. Some, never grow out of it. There is
no evidence she even offered to cook.

Any isolated one of the above and i'd not react. Collectively, I'd show her
ass to the door and give directions to the nearest hotel. 'Here's my number
when ready to pickup the furniture'.
