[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.[b] You’re being too controlling with what and when your houseguests can eat/drink. Your MIL feels the need to step in, apparently with good reason[/b].[/quote]

Disagree. MIL is a guest. A guest does not start offering others wine and snacks. She’s certainly welcome to ask for it. But to start serving it as if she is the host? No. 
Team OP! [/quote]

She is also serving it to OP…she knows she’s not the host. She’s trying to be helpful to her host, trying to take something off her hands, and OP is being a childish ass.[/quote]

OP doesn’t need or want her “help” and this has been communicated to her multiple times — therefore, to persist is rude. Period.[/quote]

Not as rude as not offering the guests food and drink. MIL did everyone a favor. OP should take note and learn something and avoid future faux pas.[/quote]

OP is offering tons of food and wine and an open kitchen. Could you seriously ask for more?[/quote]

Stop with the open kitchen nonsense. [b]Clearly it was off limits at that time[/b].[/quote]It wasn’t. You just have poor reading comprehension.[/quote]

Sorry all but MiL were free to eat and drink. That’s the only rule.[/quote]
