[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you are a bad host.  You obviously refuse to take responsibility as to why your MIL feels compelled to offer guests food.  BECAUSE THEY ARE STARVING!!!!!!!!!!!@[/quote]

You really need to take some medication.  No one is starving at 3pm and requires wine and snacks. But go on with your crazy self. It’s amusing. [/quote]

You're gaslighting.  This hostess needs the meds for her severe OCD and rigid meal restrictions.  [/quote]

I’m gaslighting someone who posted in all caps that at 3pm, people are starving followed by 10 exclamation marks when none of that was true? Really? Yeah, no. Please enlighten us to the post where OP has rigid meal restrictions and where she says no one can eat outside of the regular meal times. What page and time stamp? [/quote]

Un read the OP its right there. Not at 3. Only at 5 when the host will serve those things.[/quote]

Yes, here is the quote:[i] She starts offering people wine and snacks at 3 p.m., when DH and I serve those things at 5 p.m. Then she gets miffed when DH says “No, mom, we’re going to do X and Y at 5 o’clock, and that wine is actually for dinner.”[/i]

The issue is that the MIL is taking it upon herself to start serving others. OP isn’t here complaining that her MIL or any other guest is hungry and asking for a snack or that MIL went to the kitchen to help herself to something.  The issue is that MIL is taking it upon herself as if she is the host to prepare and serve snacks to everyone. Mind you, no one is starving at 3pm. But hey, if MIL is hungry, she’s welcome to snack. What’s she’s not welcome to do is act as if she is the hostess and prepare snacks and wine to serve others. She’s a guest. That’s the issue OP and her spouse are having. [/quote]

My interpretation was different. Just let the people eat. Sheesh.[/quote]
