<div dir="ltr"><<<span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">I'd go further, and suggest that it would be presumptuous to criticize or disrespect people in this manner. I have heard that many who act this way, do it not for kashrus reasons, but for tznius reasons. In other words, someone might have total trust in his parents' level of kashrus, but he still considers it unseemly to "eat out", even at the parents.</span><br style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">

<div><font face="arial, sans-serif">As for being on the level one of the stories of going away for shabbat chanukah was about R. Chaim Kanevsky going to visit his father-in-law for shabbat. I personally have very charedi relatives who never eat out but it is taken for granted that the children come to them.</font></div>
