No one eats in this house

NP. Unless she is extremely short, no adult woman should weigh 90 pounds and take pride in wearing clothing from a children's department. Even if you truly, genuinely are petite and very small, you should be buying regular clothing from one of the plethora of legit petite lines out there, not something from Hot Topic.

Come on.

Complete nonsense. Don't inflict your eating disorders on others.

MIL weighs 90. And she's sooooo proud of it. She loves to point out that she weighs less than our 13 year old boy, or that she can fit in a car seat, or that she can jump on the kiddie trampoline with a 100 lb weight limit. She gave everyone one slice of the spiral ham and packed up the rest. The 13 year old boy begged to sneak away for food!
I spoke up a bit during pregnancies but even that was met with an eye roll.
I do pack Kind bars and of course hide the wrappers.

What the hell? This is MY MIL too. She loves to tell her weight and that it's under 100. She loves to regale us with tales of shopping in the kids' department. And my fave, told oh so many times, is that she weighed the same the day she left the hospital with baby DH as she did before she got pregnant. I am the poster with the fasting MIL.

Crazy MILs!

Yes!! Shopping in the kids department!! She's SO proud of that. Then she buys matching outfits with my toddler daughters and buys herself the size large in girls sizes- and then points out that she would have bought me one too, but it doesn't come in MY SIZE.
Omg how I hate her

Ha ha, yeah we have the same MIL. She also likes to curl up in one of our armchairs and talk about how the chair just, "swallows her up".

No. I am skinny and fit and tall, but I am not a skeletor. And I eat and cook and love both!

I guess what's odd is that a lot of people's happy memories are of sitting in the kitchen with the cousins and the aunts and uncles having cup after cup of coffee and having a long leisurely breakfast. I'm trying to figure out what sorts of celebrations you have or memories in these houses where the kitchen is closed. A happy memory of slogging to the convenience store in really cold weather to buy a quick snack? Not much of a memory!

You do realize there’s some room between your “lovingly prepared” meals, and gas station chili dogs and potato chips, right? At my ILs I often run down the street to a boulangerie and get some croissants for everyone back at the house. But I guess those are far too messy to eat in your immaculate kitchen.

See, that's another reason why stainless steel appliances are a bad idea. Swap them out for regular appliances and feed your guests. If you want to make a rule about no eating on the couches, go ahead.

Osteoporosis, being too weak to do basic household chores and a dearth of brain cells - it’s all the rage!!

I think you missed the many posts where it was clear that the MILs were drinking their calories.

I'd be drinking a lot too with these crazy bitches in my house for days on end.

Stop being so damn pretentious. Unless your inlaws live in Paris, you are not popping down to your neighborhood boulangerie for croissants, you're going to Safeway or at best, a bakery for them.

Yes. I would drink a bottle of wine all by myself in my immaculate CLOSED kitchen. Keep Out!

Probably getting them for cheap from the gas station truth be told.
