[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My MIL once came to visit my extended family at my home country while we were there on vacation. She stayed at our summer house. Every evening my family went to a lot of trouble to prepare really elaborate delicious meals for her. She fussed and fretted and picked at her food because she has serious food issues. Hardly ate a thing because she never does (counts every calorie obsessively) She would fret over my DH being served food and second helpings and finally one night, in front of everyone, said loudly "DON'T MAKE MY SON FAT!" DH is not even remotely fat nor is almost anyone in my family. It was s offensive. Coming from a culture like mine (Mediterranean) where food plays a really central food in hospitality and showing love, my family was really puzzled by her. I was furious.[/quote] Sounds like she was jealous over her son, her "baby," getting attention from your family. Sad she didn't enjoy the hospitality and the experience more. [/quote]
