[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Costanzas have brought a loaf of marbled rye bread which, when it isn't served with the meal, Frank sneaks away when they leave. While George and his parents are in the car, his parents continue to complain about the Rosses  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rye[/quote]

Missing bread pp- thanks for reminding me about this episode! lol, we did stop on the way home and get a loaf of the bread to bring to my parents as a way to smooth things over but it is still something my mom talks about sometimes- like "who does that?!"[/quote]

It's a funny quirk of your in-laws, but I actually believe your parents seem worse by your account. They seem overly critical, and they can't let this go. They won't even host your in laws because of it? Who are the crazy ones here?[/quote]

Agreed![/quote]

In my parents defense, they have hosted my ILs on plenty of other occasions and it has never been reciprocated. They don't judge them for it, as they assume they just do not have the means to do so. But they feel they no longer need to treat them on their dime at this point- (MIL is a bit cheap, both her children fully admit this, nobody really takes issue with it they just don't feel like footing the bill for them anymore!)[/quote]

But honestly, all that drama over a loaf of bread?  Uptight much?[/quote]
