[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cultural difference. It would be rude of her to show up without bringing a dish. Indian moms feed people. It’s definitely a love language. For the entire event not to have any food from the elder woman in the family would be weird and [b]relegates her to the level of all the non family guests that just show up and eat. [/b] [/quote] This! It’s such an accurate description of the emotions behind bringing food AND participating in the act of hosting. My MiL (also Indian) cannot sit back and relax. She has to be serving and seeing to guests, even if everyone else is relaxing. There is nothing to do about it. I let her do her thing, even if I’m sitting and socializing with friends. Working makes her happy and relaxing with guests makes me happy, so in the end it works well. [/quote]
