[quote=Anonymous]OP, it’s hard to tell tone online but a lot of people are responding to perceived passive-aggression in your posts. The evidence: your saying you are “relegated” to wine and muffins when that is a total reasonable thing to ask a guest to bring, “That’s fine” when it seems it is not fine for you, saying your son and his wife want to “try their hand” at hosting like they are ridiculous children, and saying you’re “not allowed” to wear perfume as though you’re looking for things to be offended by when you asked a bunch of anonymous strangers for advice. Maybe this is just a written text tone problem, but if you give off a tone in person of “sigh, I guess i will just sit here and bite my tongue about the right way to do everything even though I am the expert who’s been doing it for decades but it’s fine, don’t worry about me” then you might want to work on that bc it is not a good way to build a good relationship with your son’s family.
