[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If someone has gross habits then I find ways around it. Don't touch my food with the hands you just licked. I will either fix my own plate, eat separately, or offer to do the serving, or say I'm not hungry just coffee this morning. It has nothing to do with "love" it's just common sense. My parents and in-laws are in their 70s, I end up doing a lot of the serving, getting up and passing things and all the other work anyway. I don't get waited on hand and foot and then complain about it. Sounds lazy.[/quote]

OP here. I, too, don’t get “waited on hand and food”—I bring my own food and work around it. Nothing “lazy” about it.[/quote]

Not talking about you necessarily, you have found a solution to your problem. But the weirdo poster who associates being served with being "loved" as if love is measured by a plate of food being passed. But these all sound like passive aggressive games and I would just opt out. Doesn't sound worth it to go along with or fight back by eating a banana in front of FIL.[/quote]

So OP is supposed to either eat bagels with hus saliva on them, or hide in her room to eat instead of in the dining area with everyone else? What’s your solution? I fail to see why she would have to hide because he can’t keep his paws off people’s food.
