[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tea and cheese poster here. I am glad I entertained you all but sorry I inadvertently derailed the thread somewhat.
All I wanted to say that it’s not too much to welcome the guests (even if they are early! Which is, I agree, a major inconvenience, but they are old!) and offer them tea or coffee or whatever. Then it is perfectly fine to retreat! 
Offering lunch would be nice, but not expected from a typical “modern woman”. 
Did the ILs commit a faux pas? Yes. Did they do it on purpose? I doubt it! They are old and anxious. OP might be there one day as well.

You also inferred that it's the womans job to host her ILs, even if she's working. That doesnt make someone a "modern woman" it makes your brother a lazy POS.[/quote]

+1, I can almost guarantee that tea and cheese’s SIL’s obvious deferral to her husband to offer refreshments is the direct result of a pattern of previous cases where she was forced to shoulder the burden of hosting her in-laws and that she is finally taking a stand.[/quote]
Interesting, do you think its similar to certain cultures of DILs who feel that because they had to deal with awful MILs that they too can become awful MILs? So she is "fighting back" against her SIL who sets proper boundaries and doesnt deal with her sh!t? [/quote]
