[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bring food for the kids! That way, if dinner is late, you can feed them, and of course you're free to bring them home and put them to bed on your schedule. Done. [/quote]

This. Easy and obvious solution. [/quote]

OP is a troublemaker putting this on her SIL when she really ought to be providing food for her own kids. Why would SIL not feed the kids? It's not her responsibility. [/quote]

????!!!!!! When someone invites your family to their home for dinner, it is customary to feed all the guests no matter their age. Parents shouldn’t need to bring food with them except the older infant / toddler months when the kid is eating purees and baby food. [/quote]

This just isn't true or practical when you have kids who need to eat on a schedule or melt down and that schedule is not the same as the host. Lots of kids are like this. You have to feed them before the blood sugar melt down, and then they can sit at the table, but they probably won't eat again. Normally, one would decline the invite with kids like that, but OP's situation doesn't call for that; it's family, not the Queen.[/quote]
