12:00
and watched her eat it just to start.
12:02
She didn't really seem to even notice or
12:04
mind, so I thought that I was in
12:06
the clear. So I start putting even more
12:08
spice into her food, and it's going great.
12:10
She drank more during her meals, but that
12:13
happens when you learn to eat spice. The
12:15
other day, I convinced her to eat ramen
12:17
with me. She doesn't eat my ramen because
12:19
it's too hot, but I said that I'd
12:21
make hers after mine. She said okay, and
12:23
I did what I needed to do. I
12:26
made hers and I put the spice
12:28
in. She immediately didn't like it. She
12:30
started coughing and spit it out. I
12:32
barely put in any spice at all.
12:34
She started yelling at me, and honestly,
12:36
I got kinda pissed off. I was
12:39
just trying to help. She was
12:41
at the sink, rinsing her mouth out, over-exaggerating.
12:43
We ended up arguing, and she called her
12:45
sister and is staying with her parents. I
12:47
got a bunch of angry texts later from
12:50
her sister and my mom, but I don't
12:52
think that I was in the wrong. I
12:54
didn't expect her to not be able to
12:56
handle the smallest amount of spice that I
12:58
put in. I just want her to eat
13:00
meals with me and not complain when I
13:02
cook in the kitchen. It hurts my feelings
13:05
that she won't even try. In my opinion,
13:07
she's over-exaggerating. It isn't even bad. I texted
13:09
a friend of mine about it when I
13:11
calmed down a bit, and he said that
13:13
I'm all good. He agreed that I was
13:15
just trying to help her out. You can't
13:17
go your entire life not eating spicy foods.
13:19
Most of the world has spicy foods. She
13:21
just wants to argue for no reason. Man,
13:24
I love that this guy is so
13:26
convinced that he can't have normal non-spicy
13:29
meals with his girlfriend, but his girlfriend
13:31
absolutely must have spicy meals with
13:33
him. So he's mad at her because
13:35
she's not compromising, but then he refuses
13:38
to compromise. What a winner. Am
13:40
I the butthole for sending an email to
13:42
the rest of the family about my sister-in-law's
13:44
behavior on vacation? My husband and
13:46
I decided to bring our two kids to
13:48
Disney World for four days, now that they're
13:50
old enough to appreciate it. My husband and
13:53
I are not in the best of shape,
13:55
so we decided to invite his sister and
13:57
her husband along with us, and we had
13:59
two separate rooms. We assumed that
14:01
we would spend our time in the parks
14:03
together because after all, it was a family
14:05
vacation. The first day in the park, we
14:07
all did a few attractions together. But then,
14:10
when we went to bring the kids to
14:12
meet some characters, my sister-in-law
14:14
said that she and her husband had other
14:16
things in the park they wanted to do,
14:18
and they would meet back up with us.
14:20
We didn't see them until dinner after we
14:22
watched fireworks together and then went back to
14:24
the hotel. The second day, when we went
14:26
to Epcot, they stuck around with us until
14:28
the afternoon, but then
14:30
split up with us again to drink around
14:32
the world. When we met up with them
14:35
for dinner, they were clearly very tipsy in
14:37
front of the kids. Very mature. When
14:40
we got back to the hotel that night, I
14:42
knocked on their door after the kids were asleep.
14:44
I asked them if they were going to spend
14:46
any time with the family on this vacation, and
14:49
I told them that running around an
14:51
amusement park with kids all day is
14:53
exhausting and we could use help. My
14:55
sister-in-law claimed the time that they were
14:57
spending with us was enough, but they
14:59
wanted to do their own thing too. She
15:01
made a rude comment that she didn't take
15:03
days off work to be our babysitter. The
15:06
next two days, we didn't speak to them
15:08
at all. They did their own thing and
15:10
we did ours with our kids. We didn't
15:12
see them again until the flight home, which
15:15
was awkward. I was so upset that they
15:17
ruined the experience for our kids, who
15:19
were looking forward to spending time with their
15:22
aunt, that when I got home, I wrote
15:24
an email to our immediate family about the
15:26
experience. And at the end, I told them
15:28
this was the reason we'd be going low
15:30
contact with my sister-in-law. I
15:33
included my sister-in-law on the email, sent it,
15:35
and went to sleep. I woke
15:37
up to a ton of angry
15:39
texts from my husband's family, calling
15:41
me ridiculous. I just assumed that
15:43
she would spend time with family
15:45
on family vacation, but clearly she
15:47
doesn't value family. I love how
15:49
OP uses going low contact as
15:51
a threat, like, okay, so that
15:54
means I won't have to be
15:56
used as free babysitting labor. Alright,
15:58
bye! I could sort of see OP having a bad time.
16:00
having a point if she paid for their
16:02
vacation. But no, they were paying for their
16:04
own vacation, so why should they be used
16:06
as free labor? That was our
