[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Can I get you to agree that you’re responsible for what you eat and I’m responsible for my family? That means no comments on what we are eating at any time. If this is a problem we will just stay somewhere else.”[/quote]

Do you want to provoke a confrontation? No, they will never agree to this. And threatening to stay is hostile. This approach is quite frankly, stupid. It’s starting a fight that will create hard feelings and solve nothing.

You know what they are like. They’re not going to change. If you’re going to stay in a hotel you need to decide ahead of time, announce it as fact and ignore all complaints. If you’re going to stay with them you need to decide that your family does eat lunch every day and do that. I would say we’re “going to get some air” or “get a coffee” and go out for a big lunch every day. Ignore complaints, but I also would not talk about where we went out to eat and I would instruct the kids to not talk about it either. So, in short do whatever works for you but be discreet about it.
