[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MIL is stepping in because of OP’s weird, stringent food rules. If you have house guests, feed them. “We eat at 5” and not allowing food and drink otherwise is being a bad host.[/quote]

Are you really unable to read? I have said numerous times that I am hosting houseguests for multiple days. We serve breakfast, lunch, cocktail hour with appetizers and dinner, and the kitchen is open any time someone wants anything. But you tried it! :)[/quote]

Oh yes, I see now that you posted almost this same exact comment earlier! There is no way that someone like you is the easy-going hostess you’re trying to portray yourself as. You’re being too controlling with what and when your houseguests can eat/drink. [b]Your MIL feels the need to step in, apparently with good reason[/b].[/quote]

Nope. It’s not he house, she’s not the hostess and she is RUDE.[/quote]

It's normal for several female family members to pitch in to help on a holiday.  Your "rude" is other people's normal.  If you really want all guests to stay away from handling any food or beverages, then hire a catering team.  That serves food and beverages to guests the entire time.  And dinner at a normal time.  Then it's all solved rather than just blame everybody for starving or being thirsty or for offering those folks items. [/quote]

Who are you people that don’t think eating breakfast around 7, lunch around noon, cocktails around 5, dinner around 6 and an open kitchen where anyone can help themselves is somehow eating at “abnormal” times or not providing enough food? Even my literal linebacker brother doesn’t need someone to bring him a sandwich every 45 seconds.[/quote]

Not everyone eats 3 square meals, some skip breakfast and eat smaller meals during the day. I also don’t like people telling me when i can eat.[/quote]
So then OP’s open kitchen all day would work well for you.[/quote]

Except for when it’s 3, and no not that wine. But otherwise sure, wide open, help yourself. [/quote]

Tell me you buy cheap wine with no thought to food pairings without telling me you buy cheap wine with no thought to food pairings.[/quote]
Hey hey hey. PP likes her box wine and there’s plenty to go around![/quote]
