[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are some posters assuming that OP is younger than her husband’s children/the child’s parents?Plenty of people under the age of 40 have 12-year-olds[b]. And how is that at all relevant to the topic at hand anyway?[/b][/quote]

Because OP said earlier in this thread that she does not consider herself a grandma because she is only 40 years old.[/quote]

And?Does her age &/or her age relative to that of the kid’s parents (or her DH for that matter) make it any more right (or wrong, depending on one’s point of view) for the kid to make comments about the food or the hosts to refuse to make him frozen pizza or whatever every night?[/quote]

No one said the host should make him frozen pizza every night.  OP's DH suggested having frozen pizza in the event the child didn't like what was cooked and OP didn't want to do that.  She posted that she doesn't want to change her cooking and she wants to tell the grandson when he gets there that his fussiness will not be tolerated in her house.  So she doesn't want to compromise and she wants to start of the visit by scolding the child.  You are right, her age has nothing to do with it, her behavior is just confrontational and unnecessary.
