there were a couple of shocking but entertain threads last year or the year before about a poster whose upper class mil never cooked her anything veggie for Christmas and wouldn't let her bring anything, and maybe on the same thread or another a big discussion about in laws odd Christmas eating habits, being stranded with 2 roast potatoes and 5 kids, and penis portions - can anyone remember enough details to post a link to these? I think i might need them to get through cooking Christmas lunch at the in laws... Also I'd love to know if the veggie poster has got fed this year!

No idea but why are the penises getting portions? Xmas Grin

Littlechocola · 23/12/2017 17:17

I’m sure if you search ‘penis portion’ it will be easy to find.

OliviaStabler · 23/12/2017 17:19

I remember these types of threads. Men get loads of food, the women very meagre portions Xmas Sad

WorraLiberty · 23/12/2017 17:19

Don't worry there'll be tons of threads by Monday afternoon, stating that MIL has starved everyone, due to 'only' giving 4 roast potatoes.

Aridane · 23/12/2017 17:21

I remember the thread where the breastfeeding OP was a total doormat and didn’t make her own breakfast or ask,for some (when others were being served), and her husband either didn’t sort her any or notice

expatinscotland · 23/12/2017 17:22

And the body shaming mums and MILs. 'Oh, I don't know how you eat so much!' 'Easily, I open my mouth and put the food in.'

expatinscotland · 23/12/2017 17:23

Oh, yeah, the twat 'D'h's who sit there and shovel the lot into their gobs whilst the wife got a salad plate with a few leaves on it.

WishingOnABar · 23/12/2017 17:24

Ha I actually thought penis portion was a mistype but I searched and see you mean that people with penises get a better portion Xmas Blush
When we were children my aunt would cook my brother and male cousin steak and give myself and female cousin chicken, never complained though as I hate steak. Very odd thinking indeed

expatinscotland · 23/12/2017 17:25

And every one of the OPs is a size 6 fell runner with a BMI lower than my hamster's. No one ever says, 'I'm a size 14 and I like to eat a lot.'

MarmaladeIsMyJam · 23/12/2017 17:25

Oh the breastfeeding one was awful!

I am a size 16 and love food more than life!

I never understand the shame of admitting to being a scoffer. You only have to take one look at me to know I'm a salad dodger.

UserThenLotsOfNumbers · 23/12/2017 17:28

I'm a size 14 and like to eat a lot, as a matter of fact Grin

CheapSausagesAndSpam · 23/12/2017 17:28

My Dh actively makes sure I get some food at MILs because his greedy sister actively "protects" all the good stuff!

she once said "Don't let the children eat the fish! Keep the fish for the adults!!"

My DC were small and had been given a piece of fish each...which they ate as they like it....she saw DH serve them and said this. As a note, my DC do not waste food or overeat.

A small child sized portion with a bit of what adults are having is whatthey're used to.

"Don't let the children eat the fish!" would you ever!??

Funnily enough, now she has a child...she literally RUNS to grab the best things for her son when MIL brings dishes out.

My mother does penis portions but it's ok because everyone gets enough to feed a wrestler. The men just get slightly more but the women and kids still get groaning plates.

BluePlasticBuddha · 23/12/2017 17:53

I've just re-read the thread where the DIL asked for more and then served herself and got the huffy silent treatment from her MIL.

She sore she would never go back to them for a visit. I'd love to know how that turned out.

I'm currently about 3 stone overweight. I have a number of serious health issues that have contributed to it. In the summer, we had a friend of DH's and his wife stay. I have never liked the wife all that much- everything has to go her way or she strops. Not a good look in a 50 year old.

Anyway, despite me not mentioning my weight gain at all, she mentioned it the next morning when I offered to make everyone bacon butties. She laughed and said;'I can see I', going to have to teach you how to eat more healthily while I'm here!!!'.

She's never coming back for a visit either.

Sorry, had to get it off my (Size DDDDDD) chest.

Jesus Christ, I hope you told her to fuck right off! How incredibly rude of her, how dare she!

PoorYorick · 23/12/2017 19:12

I've thrown people out of my home for less than that.

BluePlasticBuddha · 23/12/2017 22:03

No, I said not a bloody word. I was too shocked, and too bloody english about it.

DH though was fuming. He also said not a word.we talked about it alot though, and agreed she would never step across our threshold again.

That's all we did though.
