Thread: Mothers for the weekend

Oh Lordy - I'm going to my parents house for the weekend.. should I take my own food? My mum tends to keep quite a few low calorie things in but they're like 4 or 5 syns a pop where i can have a banana for superfree :S

Is it rude to turn up at your mothers house with your own supply of food?

For some mothers / in laws it's a declaration of war! Phone and ask

not rude just sensible lol, this is why i am doing mother's day here today as its also hubbie birthday tomorrow. going to avoid all bad things and just eat good things (hopefully)

I take my own food in a Tupperware container when I go to visit OH's family. I don't like doing it but I'm not going hungry!!!! Lol xx

Took my own food to mother in laws for dinner last night and boy I'm glad I did!! "We'll have salad" was a table laden with pizza, sausage rolls, scotch eggs, potatoes cooked in oil, chicken dippers, coleslaw etc. if I hadn't taken some prawns and chicken bits I would have literally been eating lettuce!!

Oh, with strawberry gateaux for pudding! Helpful much???

Thanks for the replies everyone -- my mum said she had a expected I'd bring stuff lol, she's really supportive though which is nice. I've had a couple of bits of ham and chicken from the fridge but am glad I brought stuff because it gives me a bit more leeway on syns today as we're going out for mothers day but don't know where yet, so can't check menus and syns online in advance
