[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I am curious what you do when you go to their house as you say that you don't bring food (that is rude), you don't do your own cooking (that is rude) and the kids won't eat her meals (they don't like her food). So do the kids just not eat for the times you visit there? you wouldn't ever bring food (snacks, food they like into the house)?[/quote]

When we visit I bring one bag of groceries with nuts, fruit and things to supplement the meals because I know my kids will mainly pick at what is served. I try to avoid bringing too much because FIL gets annoyed that things are on his counters. I try to avoid bringing anything that needs to be refrigerated because MIL has both frigs overflowing. I also think my kids need to learn to eat what is served so I don't bring a lot, but since they're little they have meltdowns when hungry.

I have offered to cook and once or twice, but to be honest after driving 8 hours and having kids not sleeping well in a different house I am kinda lazy about it.

Life is best when we eat out![/quote]

So you bring your food to their house but you don't think they should bring their food to yours. [/quote]
