[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you host? I enjoy cooking so I host many family gatherings. I'm certain if I catered alot of family members would rather do their own thing. If I don't have the bandwidth to cook, I don't host.[/quote] OP says that her MIL likes her to host because her house is "nicer" (whatever that means in this context). If MIL was raring to host, that would be one thing--it would be a bit much to insist on hosting and then cater everything over everyone else's wishes. But if MIL isn't volunteering to host, then she needs to stop with the bitching. She could ask to bring something, or even suggest a potluck, but if she's going to let OP host, then she needs to accept that this is how OP does it. People can enjoy hosting and not cooking--hosting also means cleaning, decorating, making people comfortable, introducing people and helping the conversation along, etc. People can be fabulous cooks and terrible hosts, or vice-versa.
