[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LOL OP I totally get it. The only thing I can say in her defense is that she's a mom and she used to be responsible for making sure kids had something to eat when they were hungry. Old habits die hard.[/quote] +1 I haven’t read this whole thread, but a lot of older people like to eat dinner early, like 5 p.m., so just having your cocktail hour begin at 5 is too late for them. Has OP or her DH ever asked MIL or others in the family what time they usually have dinner? Maybe MIL is trying to passively and gently drop a hint that she (and others) need to eat earlier and is trying to get the ball rolling. MIL may know that half of OP’s guests are sitting there trying to be polite but are starving, while OP, new to hosting all the ILs, is clueless. [/quote]
