[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My guess is that the IL's car on the way to OP's Memorial Day BBQ includes this convo:

-Mom, can we stop and get some lunch before we get there? There is never enough food and I sit there and starve and then have to try to find something in the pantry!
-No, kids, that would be rude! Aunt Sally is just a little quirky about hosting. We have to do this once a year. I'll feed you when you get home.
-But that's sooo long from now. She's going to give me a pickle and a pig-in-a-blanket and call it lunch. And then I'll have to sit there and listen to my stomach grumble all afternoon![/quote]

We have to stop for food after visiting some elderly family members. They prep 1 hotdog per person. We bring sides but they prepare the mains and have just forgotten what kids eat. 
Even my mom, at 60, has started the intake decline. She does a good job when hosting but we were at an event and I asked her if she wanted to add to the order we were picking up. It would be like 1130ish and she had eaten breakfast at 730. Her reply was, oh thanks okay I had a piece of toast for breakfast.  :lol:  Yes she could have just been being nice or not wanted what we were getting but Ive also seen her eat on vacation. My mom used to eat 2 eggs, bacon or sausage, 2 pieces of raisin toast, fruit, and coffee for breakfast almost every day when we were growing up. Its just a change that happens.  [/quote]
