17. She’s So Inconsiderate
I had lost a lot of weight from morning sickness and I hadn’t eaten all day. Plus, I was in the midst of other medical problems. I had an important doctor’s appointment that day, and prospects weren’t looking good. I went to take seconds for mashed potatoes since I couldn’t eat the main course (meat). My mother-in-law basically said I eat too much and that I’m disrespectful. So I walked out.
The poor mom-to-be tried to remove herself from the situation so everyone could cool down, but the mother-in-law wasn’t having it. I walked a few blocks when she cornered me, asking for an apology. I told her no, in swears. She proceeded to tell me how I needed to be medicated because I’m going to end up as an unsuitable mother. Later, she apologized for real, but I’m less trusting, and I never eat at her house anymore.
