[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I bring my own fruit to my ILs. We eat a lot of fruit for snacks and they just don't buy any. We were just there this weekend and I brought apple sauce, mini-oranges, bananas and dried fruit with me. Sometimes I also bring a pepper or cucumber to slice up in addition to chips for lunches. My MIL used to pick up stuff for us and ask me for a list before we visited but her health has declined and that doesn't happen anymore. Kids still eat a lot of junk but at least they get something healthy. [/quote] Same. My parents never have fresh fruit or vegetables in the house except iceberg lettuce and maybe bananas. I go to the grocery store and pick up berries, apples, clementines, baby carrots and/or mini cucumbers to supplement their produce-free meals. Otherwise I accept that they eat differently than we do and just deal with it for the length of the visit. I do think guests need to be flexible within reason.[/quote]
