[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, for some reason, many women as they grow older and eat less, whether due to decreased appetite or dieting for weight or health, forget that other people, especially younger adults and teens eat a lot more.  And due to their own food anxieties, whether it is cost, time invested in shopping, prepping, cooking or just weight/health concerns, they find that people who eat differently than them are making bad choices or condemning them for their diet.

The best thread on this feeding anxiety, was not about in-laws per se, but a mother who said she was having trouble keeping her family (two adults, two teen boy athletes, an 8 year old and a 3 year old) fed.  She was surprised that one package of 10 drumsticks or one rack of ribs wasn't enough to feed her family.

And one respondent hit it on the head with one of my favorite DCUM quotes:
[quote]It seems like you are feeding your family like a family of dieting middle age women rather than a family of an adult male and two teen athletes plus 2 other children.[/quote][/quote]
