[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1) Why didn’t you just make your own sandwich?

2) Tell her you are having tummy issues with mayo, and that if possible, you’d like to make your own sandwich or a can of soup or something. She can’t know unless you open your mouth and speak up. I hardly think she’ll ding you if you frame it as tummy issues vs. not liking it.

3) Tuna casserole does not contain mayo, on any planet. Make your point without exaggerating.

4) Pack some granola bars, make an excuse to run an errand and go get yourself some food. You are not hapless. [Excuses.] No really, pack food, bring food, get yourself food. [Excuses.][/quote]

Re: #3, it absolutely usually does!

Dude, your source is HELLMANNS, so of course they have a recipe for tuna casserole with mayo. No one actually makes it that way.[/quote]

Where are you from that tuna casserole is made without mayo??

it's de rigueur.

A) “De rigueur” is canned soup version.

B) Doesn’t matter either way: OP is acting like MIL is shoving food down her throat. Nope! OP and OP alone is responsible for what she will and will not put in her mouth. “Betty, I love your tuna casserole, but my stomach is acting up and I’m just going to make myself a smoothie tonight.” (Or a can of soup and crackers, or whatever.) Or push dinner around your plate, say you need to go to the pharmacy, and hit a drive-thru on your way home. Or start packing granola bars and protein drinks. Stop with the “poor hungry me” act. Grow up and eat what you want, and stop making fun of your MIL online. [/quote]

Yes, the "I'm sick to my stomach" ruse isn't transparent at all! And totally has legs. Come on. Or escape to a drive-thru and come home reeking of grease?

Nobody is making fun of anyone, except perhaps mayo.[/quote]

No one “reeks of grease” after hitting the occasional drive-thru. Grow up. Regardless, OP gets to open her mouth and do what she needs to do to feed herself. And so what if MIL guesses that she doesn’t like her food? Oh well! That’s life! “My stomach is acting up and I’m going to eat a little differently tonight” has zero impact on MIL unless MIL is looking to be hurt and to fight. My husband hasn’t felt well at my parents’ house before and has done his own thing (versus eating chili one night) and no one thew a fit or challenged him to a duel.

Grow up.[/quote]
