[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does he eat a lot at home too? [/quote]

Yes. Whenever he cooks though, I notice he carefully monitors everyone’s food. For instance he’ll put expensive cuts of meet next to his plate and put salads and bread by our plates.  This irritates me now that I noticed it. He will carefully dole out a slice or two, and keep the plate by his plate. When I’ve tried to imitate this (I sound insufferably petty, I know) he will say “no I want the meat next to me so I can have as much as I want”. My husband will usually say “dad, remember you’re not eating alone!!”

My husband has said in the past “dad, you can’t get seconds and thirds until everyone is finished with their first”. One dark day FIL took one fourth of the pie I had made for himself. One fourth of a 9 inch pie pan!! My husband actually cut that in half and gave  half to one of our children. He said “I don’t want the kids thinking that is remotely a reasonable slice”. FIL sulked for the rest of the day. I was secretly thrilled.

The true mystery here is how does he remain only chubby?  I feel like I would turn into a walrus if I ate like him.  DH thinks maybe he waits until we visit or he visits us to eat like a glutton. [/quote]
