[quote=Anonymous]For certain things, I feel like “my house, my rules” - but for things like food choices and times I try to be sensitive to other people’s needs. When I was pregnant or had babies and toddlers, I feel like my parents and in-laws tried to be thoughtful about meal times and and having foods that everyone could eat, choosing restaurants and meal times that maximized the chances of my kids sitting for the meal and not having meltdowns. My parents and in-laws eat less and at different times from us. They also have some dietary restrictions. When they visit I try to make sure they have some foods they like at every meal and that they have easy self-serve options if they get up earlier than us or need an afternoon “tea time” before a late dinner. I don’t set out an elaborate spread or drive myself crazy with extra work, but I make an effort so they feel welcome. [/quote]
