[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH just told MIL for the third time that no, we won’t be putting food on the table and passing. We’ll be serving it buffet-style from the island. She’s fighting her on this and he finally said, “No one wants to pass and pass and monitor what each other is or is not eating. We all just want to make a plate and eat.” Which has always been MY argument for hating family-style service. (Nelson voice:) Ha ha![/quote] We moved to buffet style, too. And as a result my mom can no longer plate monitor and drive everyone crazy pointing out what they had yet to touch. “Jim, there’s sweet potatoes. Do you like sweet potatoes? Would you like to try the sweet potatoes?”[/quote] omg this is my mother in law. maddening. "Marla, Larla (age 16) can see all the options available, she's allowed to pick and choose what she wants to eat. Please leave her alone."[/quote] +1. Why are some people like this? We had to get really firm and harsh with my MIL before she finally backed off! And her daughter (my SIL) previously had an eating disorder so you think she’d have learned!!![/quote] Totally agree that buffet style is so much better and stress free. Much less comments about how little I am eating, and less harassment about eating seconds of every dish on the table. I don’t have to say “no thank you” throughout my entire meal and can eat in relative peace.[/quote]
