[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be gracious and give her specific dish that you have her bring. Perhaps it's an appetizer or dessert and make sure she knows that it's all hers. She will be thrilled to be included and you will be able to manage what she brings and plan the rest of your meal accordingly.[/quote] This is what I do with my MIL. We are Italian and definitely show love through food. I gave up long ago on telling her she didn't need to bring food and switched to asking her to bring a dessert. She feels loved and needed. The kids eat a few more cookies. Best solution all around.[/quote]
