[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They're really picky eaters, like I can count on my fingers the foods they want to eat.  And they want very specific brands of food -- only this brand of salad dressing, this kind of ketchup.  Worse, my FIL likes one thing, but my MIL doesn't so they expect two separate meals to be cooked for dinner.  True, we don't have to accommodate their pickiness, but we've been trained to be good hosts, and when your 80 yo MIL who's not a great driver says she's just going to drive to the store to get some food in a neighborhood she's not familiar with, we just give in and get her the damn food.  Having them over for dinner is always a big production.

Mine literally only eat meat that is the done-ness of a brick and gag in horror when they see other people eating meat with any pink in it, etc.  They also don't like food to touch and won't eat about a million things.  She makes a big show about how she doesn't eat red meat poultry and throws away all the red meat in her thanksgiving turkey.

But really, it's MIL saying ewww and wrinkling up her nose at everything that bothers me. What are you, 6 years old? Can't other people eat their food in peace? She also asks for a million substitutions or removals when she's out.[/quote]
