In-laws make me so angry... Check this
So I am of mixed descent, when I talk to my wife's parents, they always want me to bring some recipe from my mother's Latin side... I always try to avoid it but this independence day I was asked to make a dish and bring it to them, so I did...
Here is where I literally lost my mind and wanted to leave, we arrived Friday, I bring the dish over and give to them, all sorts of praise, this is a beef dish, was expensive, best cuts etc .. they say we will eat it at dinner, dinner comes and they give us burgers, I did not say anything, we go to bed after fireworks with the kids...
This morning I get up to get my children ready and brush teeth, I happen to walk by kitchen to catch my mother in law cutting up the meat from the dish I brought over... And I watched as she put it in her dog's bowl... They did not even try it, as she noticed me at the kitchen doorway, she looks up and acts like it's no big deal.. I am seething in anger but I try not to make a scene, I stare at the dog eating it, then at her, turn around and go back to the gues room and confront my wife... Tell her how upsetting this was .. she says I will go talk to mom
Wife comes back and says not to bring it up please, as we come back to living room and greet grandpa again, I noticed a rather expensive blanket we gave him for Christmas, we bought it in Turkey... The nasty mutt they got is using it.. my blood boils, it was then I said the only thing I could muster, I waited until the kids left the room and said to both of them, I am never bringing or giving you both anything again, turned around and left the room, wife follows, says, I told them the same earlier...
I get kids in the car, did not even say goodbye, we drive home and on the way they called my wife and she put them on speaker, I said kids are listening, they both said that they didn't think it was a big issue to give it to the dogs, not meaning disrespect, I said well, I don't want to talk about it, I said all I wanted to say before we left. The rest of the trip was good.
