[quote=Anonymous]At least she made something. SIL demanded we fly across the country to spend Christmas at her house. We get there and the entire time I offered to pay for a catered dinner, but food once we get there, etc etc. She waves all this off saying she's happy to host for once. Long story short Christmas comes and she has nothing prepared and her cupboard is bare. She decided it was too much work at the last minute. Instead of ordering food and giving me the check to pay which I offered to do a dozen times, she tells my husband and I to look for an open supermarket. We find one bodega and SIL buys 2 cans of expired refried beans, a pack of tortillas, and a bag of cheese. That's what we had- for 8 people. We all ate our one "burrito" and left pretending to be full. We ran its MIL and other SIL at a Chinese restaurant an hour later. Haha.

The point is that sometimes people think they're up for something and turn out not to be. The polite thing to do is accept help when offered if you aren't up to doing something. Hopefully OP's MIL will accept. [/quote]
