[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's a light one for DCUM: I hate pie (and cobbler and similar fruit-in-a-crust desserts).  MIL loves it -- one of her first questions to me when we met, some 8 years ago, was actually "What is your favorite kind of pie?"  I told her then, and a few other times early on, that I don't like pie.  But I also have picked at it with a smile every time it's served, which is every time we eat with them -- often, weekly -- so she can be forgiven for thinking I like it.

I've decided I'm done: I'm not eating pie anymore.  I don't need a different dessert, I just want to abstain without causing a scene or hurt feelings.  MIL is one of those people who obsessively asks whether you like something, so a simple "None for me" will get multiple follow up questions.

So, what do I say?  And do I say it ahead of the dessert course?[/quote]

if this is the worst complaint you have about your MIL, i can't even relate.  My MIL is a huge PITA, and eating some of her awful food is the least of my worries.  i just pretend to eat it when it's truly awful.  this doesn't even warrant a posting.[/quote]
