If you all live together, why didn't your MIL pack your lunch as well? My MIL used to pack lunches for both of us.
I have another story. Sadly my own distant aunt, who used to complain that her DIL eats too much (she was skinny as hell). Her DIL kind of confirmed this allegation and told us that her MIL (my aunt) marked the pressure cooker upto a level that she thought was good for the family of 8. And when the 'daal' was made, she would check if it is upto that level or over it. And she would count how many chapaties the DIL is eating everyday.
oh oh. and when the DIL was pouring something in the MIL's cup, she would stop her hand the moment the MIL said, 'bas'. So the MIL complained to us, 'she stops her hand at the same moment, can't she pour 1 second more?' LOL
your husband has been doing the poliically correct thing so far. She will take yet another form the day she sees you support her. My poor cousin did that once and he never heard the end of it. If they are coming from India, you cannot set up another apartment for them.
here is my suggestion. If possible, buy a mother-daughter kind of house, and if possible, with each floor so small that you all won't fit in. With separate floors and separate kitchens, only your hubby will need to meet them everyday.
And make your husband buy a house like that.
