Please help me with a really silly issue!
I made a lot of food at the weekend for a large family do. All went down well. But my mum mysteriously didn't touch any of my quiche. For some reason I feel really miffed inside she didn't at least try a small slice. She eats quiches she buys from her local farmer's market, so I know she likes them. And if I didn't try something she made, she would make sure I felt guilty about it! I asked her twice if she'd like some, and each time she politely declined (before helping herself to something else).
I know I am being ridiculous and I am pregnant so probably hormonal. Please stop me from thinking about this non-issue!

depending on mood, I either ask if everything is alright or if I can get them something else. In other moods, I want to force feed them
I wouldn't take it personally, maybe she was just having an off day. sometimes you just don't fancy what's on offer

Am laughing thyme, I think that was my mood at the weekend. Declared to DH yesterday that I am going to cook her quiche every time she comes from now on, just to make a point, but that is perhaps an overreaction
It probably wouldn't be bothering me so much if I didn't suspect that it's because she saw me unpacking a packet of jusrol a month or so ago (I do make my own pastry, but I also cheat when I am lacking time). I saw her take a few crumbs of the pastry, and it wouldn't surprise me if she was testing it out!!
But you're right, could have been any reason that she just didn't fancy it on that particular day. (tho I still reckon she could have forced down a polite slither!!)
I'll definitely stop thinking about it soon now

She did eat some of your food though, right? Maybe she just wasn't in the mood for quiche?
I'd chalk this one up to pg hormones OP. 
It's definitely not worth stewing over - you made what sounds like lovely food - it's your dm's choice whether to eat it or not!

Funnily enough I've just had this. I made my first ever cake for a parents' event at the school today. I made a chocolate cake, every bugger that sat down had a piece of non-chocolate cake. I went from having the hump to being really upset 
. When I went back into the hall after fetching dd1 from class there were only crumbs of it left so they either ate it or tipped it into the bin...

Glad it's not just me Gwendoline! (love the name btw!)
I bet they were all just waiting for someone else to make the first move on the naughty cake - I'd opt for chocolate over non-chocolate cake every time

Definitely would have been a fork issue Gwendoline. They'd have been worried they would end up like the sticky boy! And I don't think you can go wrong when chocolate and cake is involved
And just to clarify, yes she did eat the things I made for dinner, but quiche was the only homemade thing on offer at lunch - where she ate what she had brought (and fished for us all to compliment) (perhaps I'm just turning into her!!)
