My Mother-in-Law Barged into Our Family Dinner, Took My Seat & Plate

A Reddit user, a mother of four, shared her family dinner disruption on the “AITAH” forum. She faced postpartum eating challenges but continued preparing meals for her family. Her mother-in-law unexpectedly arrived and took her seat, eating the meal OP had cooked. The stepson, concerned, revealed OP’s unmet anticipation for dinner. After the MIL left, the husband suggested she could’ve taken his meal, but OP expressed frustration, feeling unheard and unconsulted.

“[Babe], were you going to eat tonight? You can take my helping.” (OP’s husband suggesting she takes his meal)

“[Yeah], but you never eat! Now I feel like a [expletive] loser. Thanks.” (OP’s husband feeling dejected)

“I think mum was going to eat tonight.” (Stepson whispering to OP’s husband)

Her stepson secretly saved her some food, offering a heartwarming gesture. The lingering tension made OP question her actions and anticipate the aftermath of the dinner disruption. The strained relationship with her mother-in-law added complexity, as OP speculated about her MIL’s indifference to her desire to eat. The disruption led OP to leave the room, and despite her husband’s offer, he remained seated, intending to eat regardless
