[quote=Anonymous]She sounds tedious.  I'd have some staples on hand for her (hummus, the bread she likes, organic produce, chick peas, brown rice, etc.) and let her assemble her own food.  If you don't want her to cook for you, then you're making a little harder.  If she can cook some of the time, you can compromise on taste and she can get what she wants.  You and your DH can cook a couple of nights, and you can do take-out a couple of nights.  (You can also get extra take-out so she has lunch/dinner the next day.)  Vegan houseguests are annoying in that it's hard to completely accommodate them, but it's not impossible. Especially if you plan meals in advance.

How long does MIL stay with you when she comes for a visit?

Tell your DH that it's really your decision about breastfeeding.  Since you're the one who has to do it, if you are feeling that you want to ease up on BF, then do so.  It's just one of those life situations where the partner and the one doing it don't get equal say.  (If you wanted an epidural and he didn't want you to get one, would he have prevailed?!)[/quote]
