Thanksgiving host uninvites MIL over food dispute 😡
A woman uninvites her picky mother-in-law to Thanksgiving after she wanted to bring her own meal instead of eating what the hostess had prepared. The hostess had created a menu with traditional and unique dishes that she had been testing all month. Her husband argued that his mother was a "grade A picky eater" and wouldn't like anything the hostess had prepared. The hostess sees this as incredibly rude and disrespectful after putting so much time, money, and labor into this upcoming meal. After asking if the mother-in-law could not eat anything, the husband called the hostess insensitive and petty. The hostess wonders if she is the a**hole for uninviting her mother-in-law. However, after reading the replies, she decides to take the high road and let her mother-in-law come to Thanksgiving. The hostess plans to focus on her other guests and ignore her mother-in-law. Will the mother-in-law try something new and like it, or will she continue to refuse everything?
