This made me laugh, and you are quite right. I don't know why criticising someone's house is not ok but its fine to criticise their diet! He didn't say this to my face, he was talking to his wife, my boyfriends mum, about it so it remains to be seen what he will say to my face. But rest assured i will not be bullied! I'm reading up on the issues so i can present a good argument, although not at the wedding! > They can't cope with people who are giving them a " problem > " --especially when it comes to food . I used to tell people not to >bother feeding me (and I would take my own ). These days most caterers >can deal with it and are quite able to cope with all the varied types of >religious/allergy free diets. I'll be staying at their house before the wedding (one night only) and will offer to take my own food. His mum is lovely and will do her best to accommodate so will probably say she'll do veg if i can take along the protein part of the meal. I'll also take snacks in my bag and some soya milk. I'll probably get some tuts etc from my boyfriends dad but we'll see. >Are you fond of your boyfriend ?. Having a father like that has >probably lost him many girlfriends I think generally his dad is very nice. He has had alot to put up with in his life and so seems to have a low frustration tolerance at times. i think the main thing is he spent a long time living near farms an devon etc and is very traditional in his thinking about farming etc. I'm sure he has no idea what conditions are like or even of modern farming methods. So i think its part temper and part lack of awareness. Either way i don't see them that often so it doesn't cause me a major headache, and he is generally a nice guy. Plus i really do love my boyfriend Thanks for the response Angie, its so good to have some support, Laura _______________ Stay in touch with MSN Messenger http://messenger.msn.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
