[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was newly pregnant one year during Thanksgiving. We were staying with MIL, but she was not hosting the family feast; nearby SIL was. MIL had no food, no snacks in her house. She normally eats like a bird anyway. We brought a huge pot of soup, so that's all we ate for breakfast and lunch before the evening family gathering. I've never known hunger like that before or since, being in first tri. H and SFIL took the car for most of the day and I was shut up in the house with MIL and no food. MIL eats very little, so she wouldn't understand that a pregnant woman needs a lot more than she does.

Please have mercy on your guests, people you presume to like since you're hosting, and recognize that what fills you does not provide enough nourishment for them. [/quote]

I'm sorry your MIL is a horrible host...but, what? Being pregnant rendered you incapable of ordering Pizza Hut or taking an Uber to the grocery store or CVS?

People, grown-ass adults are responsible for feeding themselves. "Brad, before you and Jane take the car and leave me here, you need to go to the grocery store and get me some food. This is ridiculous."[/quote]

It's not that easy.  When you're out of your element, you don't have the foresight to predict how long DH and FSIL will be gone with the car, how hungry you'll actually get, when the next meal might come.  I've been in the exact situation, and I've waited awkwardly (so as not to offend anyone) thinking "well maybe they'll be home soon" or "oh looks like we'll be eating shortly".  By the time you realize those things are gonna happen, you're starved!!  After that first trip/experience, you gotta wisen up and make your own meal plans.  I will either go out and pick up food or I'll call DH to bring food home.[/quote]
