[quote=Anonymous]I assume there are issues other than dinner that need negotiation, but do your ILs cook? Do they want to make dinner? Have you asked them (genuinely asked, not booby-trapped) when they mention dinner? "We start cooking when we get home, so dinner is always going to be at least [half an hour/an hour/whatever] after that. But if you want to cook, we're happy to eat earlier." I agree that one of the reasons the older people I know eat so early is that they need to digest before bedtime or they'll get heartburn/reflux, which sounds miserable.[/quote]
