I love cooking, and whenever ILs come to stay I see it as an opportunity to cook a lovely meal.
However, the past few times they have come to stay they have suggested we go out to dinner at least once. I didn't think much of it really, they just said that it would mean I wouldn't have to cook.
Anyway they are coming down this weekend, and because it is FIL's birthday I suggested we take them out to a really nice restaurant to celebrate. I'd then planned to make a nice lunch/dinner on the Sunday as they are not going back until Monday, and get a birthday cake so that we can celebrate with DS as well.
Today MIL called me and asked if we would like to go out to lunch on Sunday as well so that DS can have the chance to go out and celebrate.
I do think that dinner the night before and then out for lunch is a bit much anyway, but it's just been said too many times now that i am beginning to think that they would prefer not to eat my cooking at all, and I am quite offended as everyone has always said I am a good cook, even my mother who doesn't mince her words about these things.
So ibu?

AIBU?
To be offended that ILs want to go out to dinner twice when they come and visit?
