I just had a friend call me and she said she felt kind of bad about calling me since I had been so sick recently . Well anyway she was talking about how her in laws treat her while in her home . Whenever they have a family gathering in her home , the in laws bring all their own utensils , paper plates and cups and they also bring their own food . In other words she feels shunned by them and I cannot imagine having to deal with ppl like that . She has talked to her husband about it and he says his mother is a germa phobe and she cannot help it . I think that is so rude and frankly if my inlaws treated me like that , they would be told that they are not welcome in my home . my inlaws are great by the way and i just love my mil cause she taught my husband really well and how to be good to a wife .How would all of you handle this ?

^^this. For those who suffer from this, effrontery has nothing to do with their being oblivious to how their action is affecting loved ones.
On the bright side: She doesn't have to worry what to cook or wash dishes afterwards.

A sickness is a sickness. It's nothing personal. It's too bad to have a conflict over a sickness. The heathly person needs to learn to adjust. If a person has a phobia, the healthy person needs to adjust.
it's the same thing when a person is allergic to cats, the good people would remove their cats temporarily from that person's presence, to accommodate him.
or if a person is disabled and needs much more space to occupy than other people, the other people would accommodate...

Guests I didn't have to feed or clean up after? Sounds great!
I agree....as long as they bring enough food for ALL of you!
