[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should have said: I totally agree with you! But this is different: as you know, my family lives abroad. I communicate with them through our family group chat. They all say hi and wish you and FIL happy new year. I told them your crab crakes are delicious! What is your secret ingredient? [/quote] Your MIL was rude to mention it. A gracious hostess does not chastise the guests. If she really said what you wrote above, it was over the top. That said, I suspect you don’t know how hard it is to see your spouse decline and to be a caregiver. Despite her caregiver status, your MIL made you all a nice dinner and appetizers. That’s a lot of work she is doing during a stressful time. You could have just said you are wishing your family far away a happy new year because you are not getting to see them in person. And then say you’re happy to be at her house and so on. [/quote]
