[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We attended Christmas dinner for the first time at in-laws. We have never been invited before and I am pregnant so we were excited to attend. MIL asked for a list of what I can and cannot eat weeks before to plan her menu. I don't eat pork for personal preference but she has known that for 15 years. Her entire menu were items I cant safely eat while pregnant. Rare prime rib, raw oysters, ham, veggies covered with bacon, salad with feta cheese. The only thing safe was the dinner rolls. Breakfast the next morning was the same, eggs with undercooked yolks, ham and bacon for the sides. What gives?? An oversight or is this something to be mad about? DH is furious and thinks this was done on purpose as a slight to me. I don't know if she is THAT crazy.[b] But it was strange that nothing was pregnancy friendly.[/b] Had I known I could have brought something to eat. What do you guys think? The weird thing was DH said they have never had ham before. [/quote]

It would only be strange if the entire dinner was planned for a group of pregnant women. It's not strange when it's a dinner planned for Christmas with one pregnant woman in attendance.

The menu sounds like standard Christmas dinner food. Others who attended dinner were likely looking forward to the menu. She can't simply abandon the whole thing for you.  After making all that, she probably had no desire to cook another dish just for you.

And I think you are over reacting and that there was likely food you could eat, you just choose not to.[/quote]
