[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]It is also rude to keep offering over and over when it is clear your DIL prefers to get her own coffee and food. It's like you are just doing it for the "thank you" and not caring about her actual comfort, which is obviously serving herself.[/quote]

This. Its very rude for a host to be constantly offering unnecessary things fishing for gratitude.

Plus to the OP's follow up comment where she expects that if she offers to make someone a plate they must say thank you and take it with joy, just WTF. What grown adult wants another adult to make a plate for them. Adults, teens and older children should all be making their own plates and taking what they want not having MIL decide who eats what and how much. [/quote]

They should say "yes please" or "no thank you".  Nobody said anything about taking anything with joy, WTF.  Plenty of grown adults want someone to make a plate for them--that's how you get meals in general, moron.  Been to a restaurant?[/quote]

The first 15 times my overbearing MIL offers me stuff (including my own coffee, that I made, in my own house), I stop with the thank you. Because after a while, she's being rude by not respecting my wishes or boundaries or desires. Back off, OP. Just let her be.[/quote]
