[quote=Anonymous]You are both being petty and ridiculous.

Her, for continually refusing to serve what you bring, and you, for continuing to bring stuff after she has consistently asked you not to!

You said yourself that you host a Thanksgiving dinner the week before - why is it so important to have what YOU want a week later at someone else's house?  That sounds so unbelievably childish - and this is from someone who gladly accepts dishes from guests (it is one more think I don't need to cook).

Perhaps your MIL is trying to spare you hurt feelings - you said in one of your posts that NO ONE eats the food you bring.  My mom's family is like this to be honest - they WILL NOT eat anything new at holidays.  For real - I think it is pedestrian as hell, but it is what it is.  It is like they just *can't*.  Any time someone tries to interject something new, it is a HUGE flop - main courses, sides, desserts, whatever.  It wouldn't matter if the best chef in the world made it - if it is Thanksgiving or Christmas, they will NOT eat it.  I could go down a list of new dishes someone has made that no one has touched.  If I were the matriarch of my family, and someone asked me if they could bring something, I would totally say - "just yourselves, please". [/quote]
