A WOMAN LEFT THE THANKSGIVING DINNER THAT HER MOTHER-IN-LAW WAS HOSTING, AFTER SHE HAD THREW OUT THE FOOD SHE HAD BROUGHT
A pregnant woman had shared her story on Reddit’s r/AITA subreddit. She had stated that her mother-in-law had threw out the food she brought to the Thanksgiving dinner she was hosting. She had stated that she left the dinner with such mean action towards her.
She had stated that since she is pregnant, and having trouble with her health, she couldn’t consume meat, so she brought her own food to the Thanksgiving dinner her mother-in-law hosting. “I (27F) am 5 months pregnant. I have pre-existing health issues that I manahe by having a diet with no meat of any sort. This has caused me and MiL to have confilcts especially when I refuse to eat the food she makes. I used to either come and not eat anything or just stay at home.”
Then she had an argument with her mother-in-law about the food she had brought for herself. “Since I’ m pregnant I could not attend Thanksgiving and not bring food with me out of respect for MiL. I cooked a small meal and brought it with me. MiL made a fuss about it but justified it as “I was making a mistake robbing her grandbaby of getting all meat benefits”. I explained that I take supplements as replacement but she shrugged and was upset.”
As her mother-in-law had prepared the table for the dinner, she couldn’t see her own food. “We waited til dinner table was set. MiL didn’t let me help or go into the kitchen at all. She took my dish and said she’d reheat it for me and put it on the table. Yet when I sat down I was stunned to have discovered that she had not put my dish there. When asked publically, she denied recieving any dish from me and started asking if I accidently left it at home or the car.”
Then she had said that she should eat the food she had prepared for everyone. “There was a huge blow up. MiL tried to convince me to sit back down and just eat what she put on the table. I refused but my husband insisted and told me to let it go this time. I decided to leave. I grabbed my stuff and walked out.”
She had justified herself as she stated that her grandchild should eat what the granny had prepared for the baby. “I found out that she threw out the dish I brought and tried to get me to just eat what she put on her table. She said that she was looking out for grandbaby’s health and my husband said it wasn’t worth leaving the celebration and causing a scene. We had a big argument and his mom thinks I’m being dramatic and hard to deal with.”
She had concluded her story as, “Was I the ahole for walking out? INFO! The dish I brought was supposed to keep me full and provide me with all the benefits. So it wasn’t like any of her appetizers or side dishes. I also put work into making it and it cost me money. She keeps insisting it’s about her grandbaby and her concern for their health.”
