[quote=Anonymous]I say let this go. it could be her way of getting a little barb in and it could be hurtful but it doesn't have to be. Bring what you are asked and enjoy yourself and be glad you don't have to cook. Continually trying to insert yourself where they have made it clear you aren't wanted isn't going to make you feel better or them want you more.

In my own family - my mother makes a special feast for a certain holiday meal - if someone wants to bring something on her list, great. My SIL decides instead to bring two totally different dishes that 'don't go' with my mother's meal. There are plated on large platters and take up half the table meaning my mother has to leave half her stuff off. My mother won't eat SILs food out of being hurt feeling that SIL is trying to one up her and change my mother's tradition. In my opinion they are both kind of ridiculous but it adds unnecessary drama. If my SIL could just do as she was asked (seeing as it is at my mother's house) or bring nothing everything would be great. Instead we have this yearly tension over food platters. [/quote]
