Some people like creating issues and it gets important to cut such people off to maintain your sanity.
Dealing with difficult in-laws is not easy because they would always find their way to create problems for you. A woman shared on Reddit that they do intermittent fasting and they do not eat after 5 pm but when she is on her period, her appetite gets bigger. She asked her MIL if she wants to eat something but she told her that she was not hungry so OP made a sandwich for her and ate it. Her MIL came to her after some minutes and was surprised to see that she ate so quickly. She made a comment that you finished the sandwich so quickly and didn’t share a bite with her. OP told her MIL that she can make another sandwich for her but MIL refused again. OP realized suddenly that they do not have chilli in the house so she went to the convenience store to buy it. She bought a sandwich from the store and gave it to MIL but MIL told her that she is not hungry. OP went to the kitchen and ate that sandwich too. OP’s MIL got mad to see that OP has eaten that sandwich too. Scroll down for the complete story.

If OP’s MIL was hungry she should have told OP to make a sandwich for her and if she was not hungry at the moment and she knew that she might get hungry later, she should have told OP to make something for her that she could eat later. She cannot expect OP to make a sandwich for herself and then call her to come and take a bite out of it. It is not nice to ruin someone else’s food by taking one or two bites out of it.
8. OP went to the kitchen and ate that sandwich too. The next day, OP’s MIL texted Jake that she would never be coming to their home again. OP’s MIL got hungry later that night and went to the kitchen but couldn’t find the sandwich.
