Nah. I think this is a personality thing and partly cultural. I come from a culture where way too much food is prepared and shared at gatherings or for guests. I had a real culture shock when I attended my first WASP party.[/quote]

Don't forget about non-food culture. In DH's family, no one breastfed.  They all had baby nurses to come for the first two weeks.  My breastfeeding my first was  strange to them. When I was breastfeeding my twins, that was completely over the top. They weren't hostile, but it obviously made them uncomfortable.

When we had Thanksgiving with no food before 6, I never felt that they were trying to deprive me. For some reason, they didn't think,  that 4 hours in the car, plus 6 hours before mealtime would pose a problem for the kids or me. I'm not sure why.  My mom would be standing at the door with food when we arrived!
