[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't read through 11 pages and I don't know what happened last year but did someone go to IL's house and were refused food? And do others run into this? Don't get all crazy DCUM on me, just break it down. [/quote]
Lots and lots of families have this problem, including mine. My MIL is a non-eater, she has informed me multiple times that she weighs 100 pounds, she fasts, she skips dinner, and she restricts our access to food when we visit. It's like she thinks her house is a fat camp, but we are not fat. That said, I am not underweight and to her that is not winning. [/quote]

Same here (NP).  MIL tries to inflict her disordered eating in everyone, for their own good. Not only are portions small and widely spaced, but it's not ok to eat a food just because you like it: everything has to contain antioxidants or be good for brain health. She talks constantly about what she's eating, how healthy it is, and how full it's making her. Sadly, she has become quite frail: my own mom is older but more robust in her carb-loving pear shape.

DH has a gorge and starve style so he manages at his mom's house.  I eat three reasonable meals a day and our kid needs more than that to keep an even keel, so I bring food. I appreciate OP's idea!
