[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What time are you suppose to be there? Are you on time? Do people show up earlier and eat w/out you? If so, why, what's MIL's excuse? Bring extra food for your family, or don't go.[/quote]

OP here.  Yes, this is exactly what happens.  We go when we are told to be there.  Isn't that what most people do?  Do most people's parents tell one group to be there after the others have eaten?

I am as stumped as all of you that we would be told a time later than others. And I do not think that is what happens, frankly.

One of the reasons why we don't go earlier than we are asked, is because 1.) that is the time given to us, and who would think it would be the wrong time??? Who does that????  2.) DH really does not like his family all that much, and leaves at the last possible minute - BUT we still arrive AT the designated time.  We are NOT later than Mil says to be.  3.)  Do you really think she is giving others another time?   Or do you think that they know there isn't enough food, so they get there early?  Should I just come out and ask Mil this myself?

I am not clear if you are asking these questions to be helpful, or asking these questions to blame me for something I have nothing to do with.  I can not change, or offer therapy to a family of 20 people who are acting this way, or at least allowing it to happen.  That is not a reasonable request.
