[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Kitchen is closed” was a thing in my house growing up, but what my parents meant by it was that they were done cooking and cleaning in the kitchen for the day (or until the next mealtime) so if you made yourself a snack you better not leave any evidence.[/quote]

I get this, especially if you like to keep a clean kitchen. But why can’t the folks with the weird parents-in-laws just bring grocery bags of snacks and even a cooler with food? We have food allergies so we’re always bringing food anyway. You know the crazy rules where you’re staying so just bypass them! [/quote]

I'll say this gently -- please grant the respect to understand that people have tried this. They didn't just sit there and expect food to be brought to their mouths for them. These are deeply food disordered settings, and there is some sort of high energy charge some people get from controlling the food choices of others. It is really, really weird.

If you really want the question answered, IIRC, the "No one eats in this house" thread linked earlier would be enlightening.[/quote]
