[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Elderly MIL cooked a large meal (3 meats, a ton of sides, and 4 deserts) for 7 people (my strange SIL didn’t eat so there 6 people). Barely anything was done when we got there so I did the Mac & Cheese. She was still working on the other sides. I watched her do the stuffing and she put water, broth, salt and sugar in it so it came out soggy. Everything except the Mac & Cheese tasted terrible. The deserts were store bought and even they didn’t taste good. We all had diarrhea the next day. I want to tell her that she doesn’t have to do Thanksgiving anymore but she insists just to prove she can do it. I want to go out next year. I know it’s petty but I had to tell someone.[/quote] Clue: a daughter who won’t eat her elderly mother’s food is not “strange,” she’s smart. Clue: watching MIL do weird stuff to food like put sugar in stuffing = MAYBE DON’T EAT IT. Your SIL is not the “strange” one in this scenario, dummy. [/quote] The pp put it a lot better/nicer than you did. But congrats on being a B I guess.[/quote] Thank you for saying this. I didn't think I would be called a dummy. Wow. I know my SIL and she was being the strange person she is. She sat in the corner by herself while we were eating. To be polite, I had to take some food and at least taste it. I couldn't finish it. [/quote] I’d rather be seen as “strange” than make myself sick or worse, make my kids sick because I don’t have a spine. [/quote] So what was I supposed to say? MIL, your food sucks and if we eat it, we’re all going to be sick tomorrow.We took a few bites of what we could to be polite. I bet you are fun to have around.[/quote]
