[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe your cooking sucks--or you are trying to hard to be fancy eliminating traditional/comfort t-giving foods-- and she is bringing the sides so that everyone can enjoy t-giving.[/quote]

If you don't like what someone is serving, you are welcome to turn down their invitation, but if you accept the invitation and bring something that needs to be eaten immediately that is rude.  To bring multiple dishes is shockingly rude.  If MIL doesn't feel that it can be Thanksgiving without Mac N Cheese :eyeroll: then she is welcome to serve mac n cheese--AT HER HOUSE!  She does not get to serve essentially a second meal alongside the one prepared by her hostess.

OP, as always with MIL issues, this is really a husband issue.  You said it in your post--the problem os that he won't hurt mom's feelings, but wife can just suffer.  If he really feels that way, then he will have plenty of time to spend at mom's house after your impending divorce, but I suspect that he just doesn't get it.  You need to get into counseling.  I am sure that some of the time the solution will be for YOU to pick your battles, etc., but even if you swallow the annoyance constantly with MIL, the fact that you don't feel supported in your marriage isn't going away.[/quote]
