[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She never remembers, or deliberately “forgets”, key pieces of information related to me. Two things happened over the holiday that made this lightbulb go off in my head.

First off, let me preface by saying MIL will remember obscure things about random people, her friend’s children, etc. I’ve been with DH for over two decades.

At the holidays, I love a specific drink and always provide [b]it if we are hosting, or bring it to share if others are hosting.[/b] It’s a signature thing. Every year my MIL acts like it’s the first time she’s tried it and it’s a novelty...?[/quote]

So what's the signature drink that appears wherever OP goes?  It could simply be an unopened bottle of whatever or a complex punchbowl type thing that needs to done in whatever kitchen is available and display/serving uses up 25% of an island.  Only OP knows the scope of the drink.  It really doesn't matter if OP is a MIL, DIL, cousin,sibling etc.

People get so sensitive about compliments or desirability of their signature creations/choices  whether in their own house or brought elsewhere.  All need to relax and stay on list for stuff brought to another hosts house. [/quote]
