Would you think this is rude if it happened to you.....

Would you feel just a bit hurt if after you made dinner your guests suggest ordering a pizza pie? The other night DH’s sister, husband and daughter came over so I decided to make vegetable soup and some corn on the cob because my SIL had told me not to go out of my way because her husband and Daughter would not be too hungry because they were going to a big BBQ during the afternoon, So I was like ok “I’ll make something simple.” Well it turned out that the BBQ was not so grand and that they were still hungry so I went through extra trouble to make more of the soup, cutting up the vegetables and then putting in extra noodles. So I made this big pot of soup and they get to my house and have a bowl of soup, which they say was so delicous and then order a pizza pie on top of that and I am stuck with leftovers of this huge pot of soup and also the corn on the cob.

I was so pissed off inside and had to pretend to be all smiles. It was killing me inside! When they left I let DH have it. I think I was more mad at him because he could have mentioned that I had made this huge pot of soup and the corn, maybe support me a little. He said that they didn’t do it intentionally but still I mean don’t you think it’s a little rude to go to somebody’s house and order pizza after they make you dinner. It’s rude any way you look at it. If I go to someone’s house for dinner and if for some reason I am still hungry I’ll eat when I get home. Am I alone here in thinking this way?

I don't think they were drinking at the BBQ. MY BIL is not a big drinker.

Yeah it's insulting to the one who made the dinner and that's just how I see it.

It was pretty rude to order the pizza from your house. Maybe they didn't want to put you to more trouble?

In all honesty, soup & corn wouldn't fill me up if I didn't eat earlier in the day. BUT I would wait until I left your house before getting something else.

I agree.

If I really wanted to punish I should make all the things he hates to eat for dinner for a month.

I did that to FH once when he ticked me off. He ate cereal for dinner for 3 days!

I agree w/Nov04--I wouldnt consider my husbands family company...Iwould want to feel comfortable enough with them that if I was hungry at their house I could say it. I wouldnt be offended if I were you, sorry if it sounds rude, but soup&corn is not very filling,and an odd combo. They also had a child who maybe wasnt whining, but the parents know her eating schedule,and maybe they were having fun w/you guys and were glad to be w/you and didnt want to leave just to go home and eat. I Dont be so sensitive, there are more important things in life to be mad at, and when you have a child you'll probably understand that situation better!
