To think everyone fucking off to eat in the kitchen and leaving me in the living room with the kids is rude?

So mil & Gil have 'popped' round to bring gifts. I offer to cook tea, think small buffet/carpet picnic food. I come into the living room with food for dd and ds(1) after having set out a blanket for the children to eat on. And they go off to get their food with dh and stay in the kitchen, literally sat at the table. There were 10 ish dishes/plates of food, more than enough for all and they stayed there.

Eventually dh pops his head around the corner to ask if I want some bringing in. Then he fucks off again. There's no way I can say anything without looking like a moody bitch. Just so inconsiderate. And most of the stuff was hot food. If there was a table cloth they probably would have tucked it into the top of their tops like a napkin.

I think they assumed it was supposed to be at the table. I dont think they have done anything wrong. you sound like me when my in laws are round

People don't come out of kitchens. They just don't. If you can't beat them, join them.

I can't imagine it occurring to me to eat anywhere other than the kitchen in your PILs' circumstances. Why didn't you just get yourself some food/get DH to get you some?

AlmostAChristmasHipster · 24/12/2012 18:52

My ex and his parents used to do this to me all the time. I should have served them a Monty Python salmon mousse - the feckers!

That would piss me off, being left out and not the sausage tools.

Tho I still haven't forgiven dp when his family had visited to see newborn dd. I went to the bedroom to bf dd, those fuckers downstairs started pigging out. Did they ask if I wanted anything to eat? Did they fuck Xmas Angry
