[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We aren’t fat at all but we are not thin enough for MIL. I think she is trying to get us to lose a few pounds while we visit them, as well as demonstrate her own bizarre “discipline”. She does not serve lunch and has wine for dinner mostly.[/quote]better than our situation. We go visit for a week and all they eat or serve is breakfast and an small early dinner. They come stay with us and eat 3-4 meals a day, snack constantly, and want dessert immediately after each dinner. Sweet tooth.[/quote]

Haha! I relate to this too![/quote]

So what do you do when you visit and want to eat? Get a take out or go somewhere to eat out? 
Honestly you all must be saints, I would not stay silent on the disparity between how they eat when they visit and how you're restricted when you visit - I would say something or stop the visits.[/quote]

Yes, the last time we visited my parents, my DH got breakfast at Starbucks every morning, Panera for lunch, etc. Christmas dinner was cheese, crackers, and Christmas cookies. Afterwards we actually went out for Thai food. They are mid-60s. So it’s not like they are in their 90s, living in Assisted Living. Meanwhile, when they visited, there were three meals a day or at least a check-in about whether they wanted lunch or would plan to be out sightseeing or whatever. They are no longer flying long distances (more than 3 hrs.), so I’m not sure I’m ready to completely give up visiting them. But I’m thinking about it. I have toddlers. Sometimes stuff just gets too hard and no longer fun.[/quote]
