Come on, OP. You’re a grown-ass adult. You don’t “have to” eat anything. Point blank period.

“No, thank you; I don’t want that tonight.”

“No, Timmy and Janie don’t have to have that. They’re fine with soup and salad.”

Be an adult. Be a parent. Be accountable for your own damn choices. Stop being a mealy-mouthed ninny. I have zero respect for hapless, whining adults.

Don’t want MIL to tell you what to eat? Then don’t let MIL tell you what to eat, or when, or how much. It IS that simple.[/quote]

I didn't actually ask for advise on what I should do. I asked for insights on why she might be behaving that way. Thanks anyway though.[/quote]

Maybe I’ll start a new thread asking why an adult would allow another adult to “make her” eat something. [/quote]

If you're comfortable openly being a biotch, go ahead.[/quote]

Hope you found your answer - there are some good explanations in the thread about family dynamics and the difficulties associated with setting boundaries. You said you have no patience for posts like these, but it seems you have quite a bit of both patience and time. Good for you.[/quote]
