[quote=Anonymous]With my ILs, I used to fall over backwards trying to please them. I would take note of everything they complained about not having in our house on their previous visit - mostly foods we simply don't eat and wouldn't think to stock, ranging from cottage cheese to Fritos. Then before their visit I would call and ask if there was anything they wanted me to pick up at the store. They would always say, "Oh nothing, whatever you have is fine." I would pick up all the things that received complaints at the last visit. They arrive and of course, their dietary preferences have changed drastically between visits and they no longer eat cottage cheese and Fritos and are on a low fat diet and complain that I don't have some specific Kashi cereal on hand. Out I run to get that and whatever else they now need. Next visit, I buy the Kashi and everything else, repeat - now they don't eat Kashi. At this point I have given up. They can now eat whatever I have or starve. [/quote]
