[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]A long standing issue has been that FIL doesn't like my cooking. He prefers heavy 1950s type food. I make meats, veggies, pot pie etc. MIL always wants to cook so FIL will be happy, but I politely decline, mainly because both my kids and I hate her cooking. Is this all ridiculous or what?! But I think it's my house, you eat my food. When I visit you then I'll eat your food. [/quote]

You sound like an awful person.  You know he doesn't like your cooking but you won't let your MIL make something he likes.  He's supposed to just suck it up.  What a bitch.  [/quote]

You are rather awful yourself, and you are making ignorant and incorrect assumptions.  I absolutely try to make things he might like, but he is set in his ways, naturally prefers MILs cooking. I have to balance basic nutritional needs for my children and they don't eat her cooking much (lots of sauces on veggies, fatty foods). I expect them to eat what they are given from her, but I don't think it's healthy or fair for 9 meals in a row to be something they don't like and pick at.

Now it comes out!  Your issue is really that you don’t like the dynamic between your ILs, their attitudes and having to share your kitchen. Yeah, I’m sure I’d be annoyed by some of their attitudes but the meals are a non-issue.  They’re trying to work with you by bringing their own food.  Grow the fuck up or start ordering out!

Unless they have health reasons, it is extremely rude to bring food to someone else's house.  A lot more is going on.  Some people like to show control through food.  I am willing to bet your MIL or FIL or both are heavy.  [/quote]
