I wouldn’t say anything to her like “you’re in the kitchen too much”, just start letting her know ahead of time that ur gonna be using it. Like, “hey I’m gonna be cooking tonight for a few hours, heads up! I don’t want us to be tripping over each other” And if she doesn’t leave it empty for you, start cooking right around her even if it’s uncomfortable. sometimes just taking up space confidently sends a message ykwim

If you take up the space you deserve to take up, she’ll adjust around it if she’s normal. If she’s not then you may have to work out a schedule but I would just start using it unapologetically, with warning ahead of time so she doesn’t think ur being passive aggressive.

I try but i wake up at like 10 after working a night shift most times and sometimes she's in there too. When i did wake up at 8 she was there 🙁
