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.

Desperate to know why she thinks you controlling...

Someone is 'vile' for accepting another persons corn on the cob? OP you are very immature and a right piece of work. This is such a complete non issue, you have a lot to learn.

Are you 12 OP?

Most of us have bigger problems.

The main problem as far as I am concerned is the risk of contracting heliocabater pylorus (spelling) which leads to stomach ulcers. Generally thought to be spread by sharing food and implements

OP I can see what you mean. Corn on the cob has to be bitten and scraped by your teeth and mouth. Will be covered in saliva and bits of stuff off teeth and inside of mouth.
It makes me feel sick.

You are not in charge of what other people do! If you call SIL vile because she has eating habits you disapprove of I think you need to grow up.

I personally wouldn't do this but would not call someone else vile if they did!

Can't believe I've just wasted a few precious minutes reading this silly thread

I don't think it's disgusting as such. I guess it's horses for courses.
Some people can eat after others. Some can't, or. Some people you can eat after others you can't.

Agree with others, if your dp wanted to break up because your sil said you were controlling, there are bigger issues here!
You don't like your sil, it's obvious from two posts, that's probably why she doesn't acknowledge you.

Makes me feel sick - I couldn't do it from anyone other than my dh or dc!

I could finish fork food like pasta or chicken that H or the DCs have left (and vice versa) but corn on the cob that has been nibbled by your boyfriend's mother? Erm, no thanks, I'm full. It's like finishing off the meat from someone's spare ribs that they've had a good go at. Boak.

Yuk! Corn on the cob that's been chewed up and scraped inside someone's mouth with their saliva juices all over it? Hell to the no!! If I was starving I'd eat my young DC's second hand cob but definitely not anyone else's.

I'm generally not at all squeamish or picky over hygiene. Dropped food is picked up and eaten, I'd think nothing of finishing DC's half eaten fishfinger and if meat's left on plates I gather it up to mince for the next day. Waste not want not.

However, MIL's chewed corn? Don't think even I could consider that (or my own mother's for that matter)

Although it was MIL who offered out her half eaten corn, so why is it only (almost) SIL who's disgusting?

I think you need to come up with something better if you want a whole load of strangers on the internet to back you up in hating her.
