[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Out of curiosity, is it the food you serve or is there something else in the vein of tradition she's complaining about?  For instance, are they a family that says grace before meals at holiday time?  Do they serve a piece from a single egg at Easter?  Do they follow a religion different from yours?  Do they wear funny hats on the Fourth???[/quote]

I can’t think of any tradition honestly.

Sorry I misspelled champagne!

To those who thinks my catered food is not good, if I cook it will be worse than any catered food you ever tried. Also I make a salad myself:))

Last Christmas MIL made a huge deal because I don’t make homemade buns, so when I catered she requested not to order buns because she was going to make them. At the end she forgot to make them and we didn’t have buns at all. So this kind of thing happens constantly.[/quote]

You need to stop hosting for a while and then see what she says.  If no one else steps up, she may actually be grateful that you host - regardless of what you serve.  I don’t think you should change from catering your meals.  Working full-time, raising a family, and hosting are all a lot.  Your MIL is way out of line here.[/quote]
