[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]^If she asked for the food restrictions/preferences she was indeed obligated to either 1) provide something beyond bread that the Op COULD eat   or  2) tell Op what the menu would be in advance.

Look down the road in 20 years.  Maybe one day MIL won't be able to eat crunchy food or anything too chewy (like steak).  Will it be o.k. for Op to ask MIL over for dinner, ask politely about her food restrictions/preferences and then (pay backs!) serve exactly the foods that MIL has said that she can't eat?[/quote]

No she wasn't.

One erson does not get to dictate an entire menu. I'm sorry if this is what you were brough up to believe and are raising your kids to believe.

She did provide alternatives. OP is  two horrible things a princess and a picky eater on top of being pregnant. OP chose to sulk instead of figuring something out like an adult.

I doubt OP needs to worry about caring for her MIL 20 years in the future, because I doubt she will be the current DIL by then.[/quote]

Ha.  Op did not ASK to dictate the menu.  MIL is the one who ASKED for the list of food restrictions/preferences..  It is incredibly rude for MIL to then not take those preferences into consideration while planning her menu.  If you don't want to deal with it, don't ASK for the list.

Is this the way you treat your all of dinner guests or is this special treatment reserved for pregnant DILs?  Just wondering.[/quote]
