[quote=Anonymous]I think it's generational and cultural. I'm from the UK and my MIL was always horribly overbearing in terms of food, constantly offering something, a meal, a chocolate, a yogurt, a piece of fruit. Endless. To the point of absolute farce. I think in some ways it's for lack of knowing how else to contribute, if that makes sense? And wanting to be welcoming but to the point it becomes almost psychotic. It needs to be openly addressed by your DH. He should ask her about it, find out what is going on, maybe make gentle suggestions that these aren't your expectations of her and how sometimes it's great to eat a meal at her house but other times she should come to you. But you can't let it keep happening. [/quote]
