SIL was talking to my wife and admitted that they didn't invite us to dinner because I eat too much. I'm low to mid 30's, eat 3000Cal per day, maybe more, but only weigh 175 at 6'.

Am I a piggy pie or are they stingy?

FYI, my wife longs for the day she could have leftovers too.

No kidding. My In-Laws tell me to eat more, get seconds, get thirds, eat, eat, eat.

And I do. Gain shit tons of weight when we visit.

Depends. Do you eat once a day and ingest all 3000 calories in one meal?

Unless they are just dirt poor that seems like a shitty thing to say.

Most people take it as a compliment when a guest likes the food enough to ask for seconds.

I have a buddy who is about 5'10" and skinny as a rail. He eats like he has a tapeworm and doesn't gain a pound. Would probably get kicked out of Golden Corral or get asked to pay twice.

Yeah. Tell us more about their 'food'. Unless they are serving up caviar and gourmet shit like that, wtf do they care how much you eat when they invite you over for dinner?

We feel bad if there's food left over when we host a dinner of BBQ. We wonder if people didn't like it or something. I can't dream of saying "No, Bob stop it! Those burgers are 'spensive, man!"

OP, I am not sure if I would call them stingy or just bitchy. My wife is Italian/Puerto Rican and only knows how to cook in large quantities.
You would be welcome here to eat all you want. You should tell them to kiss your ass and be done with it.

Go over there to their house and drink a bottle of HFCS.

I'm guessing that just means they (your SIL or your wife) are trying to spare your feelings and don't want to tell you the real reason.

I typically try to eat lite when at other peoples houses. Not really sure why, just don't want to over do it.

I've got an uncle that always eats like it's his last meal.

We know this and plan accordingly when we ask him over for dinner. No big whoop.

Seriously, OP. If it's that bad, eat something before you go.

I'm guessing the SIL is the sister to your wife.

Sounds like a real petty bitch.

Since the family is all about not wasting resourses, I'd be sure and not purchase any Christmas gifts for them.

If I was the only one hosting a lot of dinners - and nobody was bringing food or otherwise helping out - I'd probably be looking for an excuse to stop it, too.

Once you can write off. If twice - you might consider how you are eating - as much as how much.

Fuck that shit! If you are invited to my house. You go away FULL. That is the meaning of being a good host.

Posted: 12/20/2014 12:37:05 AM EDT

I always make more than enough food when I host and people eating too much is seen as a compliment.

Something's fucky. (in Bubbles voice)

Maybe you chew with your mouth open, and act like an ape at the table

I eat a full meal before going out to dinner to avoid these kinds of problems.

Posted: 12/20/2014 12:38:33 AM EDT

[#27]

Damn dude, you would love eating over at my place. I have the Italian " eat, eat, you are too skinny & feed everyone" gene. I cook enough to send leftovers home with my dinner guests. Why half ass it?

Posted: 12/20/2014 12:38:36 AM EDT

[#28]

Y'all come on over.

If we invite you over for dinner it means you can eat as much as you want but I only cook one meal. Once that's gone you gotta fend for yourself. Kitchen's that way.

Your SIL is a bad host.

My SIL is a bad host as well. I make sure I eat before going to dinner at her house. That way I don't care when she fucks up whatever she is serving.

Posted: 12/20/2014 12:41:18 AM EDT

Hosts need to cook enough food for their guests. If your eating "a lot" is a known issue, they need to make sure they fix enough.

Posted: 12/20/2014 12:42:18 AM EDT

[#31]

Pics of SIL?

Posted: 12/20/2014 12:43:03 AM EDT

[#32]

Seems very odd. Are these people super poor? Are you asking for third helpings of lobster?

If you come over to eat at my house you're welcome to the food till it's gone, and I've never once run out. I typically cook for 1.5x the people we have. I've run out of certain items (steak on the 4th of July) but I've never run out of food.

This or there is something else making them bitchy. Personality conflict of some sort? Maybe your visit is too lengthy in their opinion. You don't back the toilet up do you? Are you that guy?

Fuck em". Go find somebody else to mooch dinner from!

That's just an excuse. There's probably another reason.

Maybe because you have no manners, chew with your mouth open, burp and drop food on the floor.

This..... OP, how often do you invite them over to your place for dinner?

kind of a shitty thing for the SIL to say

just order a pizza when you go to there house,fuck'em

That's fucking petty, and they don't give a shit about what makes you happy.

They are supposedly family? They should be ashamed. You feed family.

Over feed if possible. It is a measure of satisfaction with the cook.

Burp loudly to make a real lasting positive impression.

Barbarians.

This is unforgivable. Invite them to a fine dinner at your house. When you are serving their food discretely leave the room and re-enter with a brand new shovel and pile enormous servings of food onto their plates. If they protest, tell them to sit down, shut up, and eat. Make oinking noises at them while they eat.

Posted: 12/20/2014 12:59:41 AM EDT

[#43]

Unless you are going through the cupboards after dinner and drinking all their hooch, that reason is

.

Like other posters said, it is probably something else.

start showing up to there house uninvited at dinner time and eat as much food as fast as you can

are you grabbing food off of their plates?

, Hard to say, they could be struggling and afraid to admit it. Or just don't care for your company. Bring a bottle of wine or some steaks if they ever offer again and see if they lighten up.

what did your wife think of SIL comment? she might know more of the story

WHAT..THE..FUCK...KIND OF PEOPLE ARE THEY??!! That's simply pathetic.

I guarantee they are not Southern Italian...and if they are, then they are liars, and there is some other reason.
