[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op - id give them the benefit of the doubt except the party was at a playspace where everything was organized by the venue. Yes plus, they invited us over in advance, and presumably  knew that there wouldn't be food for adults at the party so what were they planning to eat? It's just weird. [/quote]

Come on, dude! Even if it's organized by the venue, it still takes mental energy and focus to make sure everything goes smoothly, everyone is doing ok, the parent who knows no one is introduced around, etc. If you really wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt, you would! You asked if you were wrong in thinking it was "really bad form..." and my opinion is yes, you are wrong in thinking that. They should've had food but it's not "really bad form." You shouldn't have asked if you didn't want to know! I'm guessing you don't much care for your SIL. [/quote]

My SIL tends to be thoughtless and self-centered but today took it to a new level. I was the parent who knew no one and wasn't introduced to anyone, and the party was run by the staff at the location. Sure it takes some planning on her part but inviting someone to your home should as well. Dh wasn't there today and I just told him what happened and he was appalled that they did that, and he quite often takes her side on things (he grew up being the peacemaker  in his family), and said I should've left and brought the kids home stopping for food on the way. The reasons I didn't were A they'd been in the car for over 2 hours already and they wanted to play with their cousins. He got that and is really annoyed at his sister.

Oh well... I won't be going there again without a plan for eating decent  meals at normal times. [/quote]

So you don't like your SIL.  End rant. [/quote]
