Family didn’t appreciate dinner
So my husband and I are in town for a week for his mom’s birthday (we decided to surprise her). Unrelated, but we decided to see my family too since they live near each other. We gathered my whole family which only really consists of 6 people, plus me and my husband, so 8. We said we will cook dinner for everyone and just wanted to get together and have a family game night. Now.. my family is a little pretentious. So, we bought big fat ribeye steaks for everyone at costco. My husband bbq them and they were a PERFECT medium rare. I mean, my husband bbq’s all the time and I’ve NEVER had a bad steak from him. I made a chimichurri sauce, bacon brussel sprouts, and mashed potatoes. It was in my opinion a VERY delicious dinner. And we spent a lot of money and time into this.
The ENTIRE time we are at the dinner table eating they are all saying how the steak is not flavorful and it’s too big and the portions are off. They were saying how they would have been better off just getting take out.
My husband was taking it all in and yes he is frustrated, but he’s not angry like I am. I was SO embarrassed! We come to your home, spend all this money and time and cook a beautiful dinner for you and they just cannot stop complaining about it!
It just ruined my day and it’s making me not want to talk to them for a while. I confronted them during the dinner and they started saying I was being dramatic and basically all started bullying me. So my husband and I decided just to leave.
The next day (today) I called my mom and asked if we could chat. I went to her house and told her how that made me feel and she again, she belittled me and and made me feel like I was being ridiculous.
