Sil lives about 30 - 40 minutes drive . On birthdays etc we always get invited over ther for some 'cake ' always between 2 to 4pm . Never offered to give anything more than that i.e a few sandwiches etc etc.
It is a bit of a standing joke in the family that she is a bit tight with food. ( money not an issue ).
If I was to invite pople over for the afternoon for a birthday I would at least offer sandwiches etc espcially for the children .
So we always make a point of saying when we leave , must go now have to cook tea, as we never get it at her house !
Me and Dh have got so fed up with it over the years we never invite them over for tea anymore as it is never done at her house .
I am not expecting a full Sunday roast but surely a few nibbles and sandwiches to save us having to come home and do tea ourselves.
I am being unreasonable ?
