[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MIL is stepping in because of OP’s weird, stringent food rules. If you have house guests, feed them. “We eat at 5” and not allowing food and drink otherwise is being a bad host.[/quote]

Are you really unable to read? I have said numerous times that I am hosting houseguests for multiple days. We serve breakfast, lunch, cocktail hour with appetizers and dinner, and the kitchen is open any time someone wants anything. But you tried it! :)[/quote]

Oh yes, I see now that you posted almost this same exact comment earlier! There is no way that someone like you is the easy-going hostess you’re trying to portray yourself as. You’re being too controlling with what and when your houseguests can eat/drink. Your MIL feels the need to step in, apparently with good reason.[/quote]

This. Why else would it not be ok to open wine at 3?[/quote]

Can you read? Husband had to step in to say, “No mom, that’s the wine we’re serving at dinner.”
Would any of you go to someone’s home and start opening wine and serving it to other guests at 3pm? Seriously? [/quote]

I wouldn’t have a single, very special bottle of wine that could not be opened for my house guests. I would have plenty of food and wine available, and save that specific bottle until dinner.[/quote]

Yes it sounds weird. One very special bottle that can’t be touched? How long were guests sitting and waiting to be offered food and drink? Nothing between 3 and 5?[/quote]
