[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Inlaws are the opposite. They feed you nonstop and become upset if you don't eat. 
I'm not talking just one big meal. w
She makes homemade cinnamon rolls, bacon, eggs, fruit, cheese, juice for breakfast
Snacks in between of cookies, seasoned pretzels, chocolate-covered strawberries, vareity of alcohol
Lunch is something like lasagna, bread, salad, cake for dessert
More snacks 
HUGE dinner of several sides, meat, breads etc. 
Then, more snacks and desserts afterward.

We just can't eat it all and she HATES wasting food. She, however, cooks enough for 50 people and there are 11 of us. Then we get to hear how she went to AAAALLLL Of this work for days making desserts, snacks, has been in the kitchen since 4am and we aren't eating enough.

Why do so many people have unhealthy ideas and relationships with food? Why can't we ever just have normal portions and meals and no guilt or commentary on what we eat or don't? It is exhausting. [/quote]

I see you sister. My MIL is cooking non stop and there are only 3 adults in the house. I dont get to spend time with my spouse because she constantly needs his help. Also, every 2 hrs all day long she remembers she needs another ingredient so spouse and i were taking turns to do Giant runs. The person who is not on the store run is taking care of our 3 mo old baby. MIL came to “help” us. Her cooking tastes like crap, she makes too much of it, it sucked all time and energy out of the day. We have money to buy a catered meal. But then she is not the center of attention. [/quote]
