[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Keep the experiences coming - I should have made it a poll!

[b]Don't get me started on people who *start cooking* AFTER you get there but DEMAND (yes demand) a certain arrival time as if YOU are the one who is late (friend is the one who is always late and is counting on you being too polite to point that out). Holy crap.

I am trying to be more tolerant in regard to food, but starting to cook AFTER the guests arrive, with KIDS?  AAARGH.  [/b]

I do like my ILs, but I am trying to adapt to the eating part of the relationship, which is extreme opposite.  With any other topic I would say change or difference is welcome!

When we host, we try to have more than enough and try to send food home with people if it is popular, but it is hard when only ONE audience (ILs) have a problem with everything.  If they are picky (and this is the adults), and are accustomed to not enough food, what do you do?  Deliberately starve everyone?  I am curious, as this is a foreign concept  to me.

One or two of the PPs may be the ILs :)

We are actually the WASPY ones in the family, other PP.[/quote]

But this is cultural. In my family this is how it has always been done. Growing up, six kids in my family and we always waited an hour or two to eat. It isn't rude or disrespectful. There is more to visiting than eating. Stop seeing it as bad and see it as different.
