[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]A long standing issue has been that FIL doesn't like my cooking. He prefers heavy 1950s type food. I make meats, veggies, pot pie etc. MIL always wants to cook so FIL will be happy, but I politely decline, mainly because both my kids and I hate her cooking. Is this all ridiculous or what?! But I think it's my house, you eat my food. When I visit you then I'll eat your food. [/quote]

You sound like an awful person.  You know he doesn't like your cooking but you won't let your MIL make something he likes.  He's supposed to just suck it up.  What a bitch.  [/quote]

Seriously? Guests in someone else's home are expected to eat what they are given.

Didn't your mother teach you basic manners?[/quote]

Yes, seriously.  You do sound like an awful person.  A host should strive to make a guest as comfortable as possible while visiting in your home.  While you don't need to wait hand and foot on the person, just having food that they can appreciate and eat is the barest courtesy.  Having only food that he doesn't like, repeatedly, after more than one visit is just crass.  Not only does he not like you cooking, but you churlishly forbid your MIL from preparing foods that he WILL like?  You really are trying as hard as possible to keep them from visiting.  If you feel that inhospitiable, why don't you just let your husband take the kids to visit them and you stay home.  Everyone will enjoy themselves much more.[/quote]

PP above.  I forgot to mention that I am a different PP, not the one who called you awful first.[/quote]
