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]

I'm a pp whose brother ordered the pizza for the 5 year old twins

My mom's family was lower middle class, Boston Irish-Catholic.   Her mom LOVED feeding people.  My favorite memories of my grandmother (her mom) involve tea and some type of cookies/scones/baked goods every afternoon when we visited her.   No one ever went hungry in her house, even when she was in her 80's.

But my mom is kind of a snob and felt superior to her lower middle class upbringing so maybe going against that (feeding guests) is her way of rebelling.  [/quote]

But like, what diid the rest of you do?  I just feel like even if my mom was going on and on about no food my siblings and I would laugh and say, look, we're hungry, or the kids are hungry, and we're not doing that.  Did your brother share the pizza?  Did you all just do nothing while your mom was harping on your SIIL?  [/quote]
