I just meant that I didn't mean to cause so much confusion and all. I thought I could work out the fine details properly, so that it could all be understood. But, it didn't work out that way. My fault.
The only thing that confused me about your first post was that it wasn't clear what the issue actually was (I kept waiting for the rest of the story... but then the post ended

) - I wasn't sure why there was a problem with DR bringing his own food or why it upset your MIL

. Now that you've explained the issue, it makes more sense
