[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The key is--whether you serve pizza or Coquilles St. Jaques--is for you to smile, be calm and laugh and have fun no matter what. And I mean even if you drop the beef tenderloin on the kitchenn floor. Even if she criticizes the menu or the decor or anything, if you are smiling and joyous, and your guests have a good time, you've won. Repeat her criticisms in a way that engages others to shout them down. [A shade louder than is necessary:] "[b]Oh, Susan, I'm so sorry you don't like the goat cheese mashed potatoes. [/b]I thought everyone would enjoy something a little different."[/quote] OMG I'm doing this with my MIL from now on. She is always telling me, as an aside, all the things she doesn't like. She does this constantly. Yet if you ask her ahead of time what she likes/wants she says "oh anything". FALSE! [/quote]
