[quote=Anonymous]OP, can the kids eat separately from the adults? Serve the kids dinner early, and then the adults can eat on your MIL's timeline. Lots of families do this as a routine matter if one spouse gets home on the later side. If not, then get some healthy heavy snacks from the store and tide the kids over until it's dinner time. If it's day 1, you need to dial it back. Don't say crap to your kids and confuse them about whose side to be on. Maybe your MIL was pissed that you didn't offer to help with dinner? (I get that you were busy dealing with the kids.) Who cares what your in-laws say about TV and junk food? Let them give their opinion, smile, don't really engage, and then talk about something else. Keep the updates coming![/quote]
