[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my MIL is around or if we visit her, she always ask me if I want pies, cakes and any sweets. At home, at dinner, at the grocery stores. I always say no but I would say your son lives a pie or cake. She hate my response. I really control my sweets. I have no sweet tooth. I rather eat chips than cookies. But, she can't stand my rejection of her sweet offerings. I am happy to get a cake for others though. [/quote].

At least your MIL gives a shit about you and tries to include you.

A couple weeks after I had a baby my MIL dropped off a veggie lasagna to our house which my DH loves but she knows lasagna is the one food I can't stand. She was like I know my son loves this. But my thing is why would you bring something to someone's home that you know one half of the couple hates? Especially when the half of the couple that hates it just carried a baby for 9 months and pushed a whole human out of their vagina. Your son isn't the one recovering from that. He did nothing in terms of having this baby. So if anything the food should be geared towards the person who is actively recovering.  That's the equivalent of if my husband had surgery and a family member bought over food for us knowing I loved it but my husband hated. But wait I'm not the one recovering from the surgery my husband is.

I would never dream of going to my in laws house and bringing something over for just my MIL or FIL if I know the other one hates it. [/quote]

Your relationship with the in laws is doomed, because of your attitude.

It would have been nice if she brought something for you (was there no gift for the baby, no offers of help?) But she also indulged her son, which gives will fuel him through the rough first few weeks, saves anyone having to cook. But you see nothing but “what was in it for me? He did nothing?”

Seems like you don’t think as a unit. You were not feeling grateful for having delivered a healthy baby. Sorry that you have such a negative, self-centered world view.
