To think this is disgusting.

[Smrendell]

Over my boyfriends house and his family are eating their dinner. His mum can't finish hers and offers the remainder of her corn on the cob around that she had already eaten some of. No one else wants it so his brothers girlfriends has it.

Am I the only one that thinks she's vile? Boyfriends mum had had her mouth on that then she takes it. Boak.

It's definitely not disgusting or vile. I'd do it too,just start eating at the other end,then depending whose it was stop early or finish it.

Now tell us,what is the real reason why you hate SIL?

A couple of days ago my god daughter was saying her garlic bread tasted funny, they were small bits and she bitten it in half, so I ate the half she had left...she was all '😳 I'd bitten that'... I just laughed and said 'yes, but only once, it's an improvement from when you'd chew on something then shove it in my mouth!' She had the decency to blush 😁

Actually, come to think of it I shared some of my gin with mil the other day, we shared a straw oh how very déclassé. I am but a heathen and I hang my common head in shame.

jelly. It's not the same. Sharing partly eaten food with your other half, isn't anything like sharing it with his mother.

I don't think it's disgusting at all, it's not like they're strangers. I guess some people are just more picky than others about this sort of thing... Wouldn't bother me one bit though, as long as the person who previously was eating the food was a clean person with good dental hygiene.

Lucy I'm fussy who I share drinks with when straws are used after seeing how many (what we loving call floaters) are in the glass! 😁

I'm gonna againsg the grain and say YANBU. This is utterly gross, if she hadn't touched then fair enough (although I wouldn't take it even then). There are people on my office who finish other people's lunch and it makes me feel sick!

Oh I don't share with my dc, they're very guilty of floaty bits. Through a straw they are ok though, it's bottles of water they contaminate.

Have you really never had a glut from someone else's coke bottle?

Do people really do this? I'd sooner go thirsty

I think you're getting a hard time OP. Can people really not have trivial issues with their ILs without the armchair psychologists coming out with "what's the real issue here OP"

Meh

Family germs are family germs

Many many people in this world would be glad of leftovers.

Something is got on with MN at the moment what with posts like this and people going on about their LOs.

Not the point of the thread, but some of the replies had me pmsl

I don't really care what other people eat, as long as they don't eat other people. I generally draw my line at that (with a few notable exceptions of course)

It's not like she offered to fry up and serve FIL's bolleux is it?

I really really don't see the issue. I share drinks with people too, that I'm nit even related to.

DD1 used to poke bits of apple into my mouth that she'd carefully carried about for half an hour to make them properly warm and sweaty. Anything is better than that.

I think her replies say she isn't too fond of her SIL. Not just people assuming.

I'm torn. Don't know if I'd do it with corn on the cob, but otoh I really hate food waste

Never eat peanuts that are on a bar

Yeah... if I were you I wouldn't let on to your boyfriend or his family how 'vile' you find them.

You don't like them do you?

When the apocalypse comes, you'll be sharing more than leftover corn on the cob

If the answer to "Will someone get a disease from this?" is "no" then it's fine, in my view.

I love my boyfriends mum... His brother girlfriend, no.
