Depois de preparar o jantar para os filhos, marido e sogra, uma mulher deixou sua ração de comida para trás enquanto fazia uma tarefa. Quando voltou para comer, ela havia desaparecido.
Uma mulher foi ao Reddit para descobrir se ela estava sendo irracional em sua reação às ações de sua sogra, que havia preparado o jantar para toda a sua família. Ela ficou horrorizada com o incidente.
A mulher contou que sua sogra foi à sua casa para jantar e esclareceu que, a menos que fosse um grande evento, sua família comia na sala de estar, deixando que ela preparasse os pratos e servisse a porção de cada um.

A mulher disse que não teve problemas em empratar a comida de todos e servi-la. Ela tinha feito almôndegas suecas com molho, purê de batata, brócolis e pão caseiro, que ela empratou e serviu para sua família. No entanto, o que aconteceu depois a deixou chateada.
O que a sogra da mulher fez?
Depois de servir o jantar para sua família, a mulher deixou sua porção na cozinha enquanto ela saiu para cuidar da roupa que ela tinha pendurado para secar mais cedo. Ela então voltou para a cozinha para pegar sua comida.

A mulher serviu cada porção generosamente, servindo mais do que ela achava que sua família poderia comer. No entanto, quando ela voltou para a cozinha, a porção que ela havia servido para si mesma havia sumido. Foi assim que ela contou :
“Perguntei se alguém sabia o que tinha acontecido com o banco de alimentos, e minha sogra me disse que queria mais.”
Depois que sua sogra lhe contou o que tinha acontecido, a mulher notou que o prato de sua sogra estava cheio de almôndegas. A mulher pensou que sua sogra tinha se servido de mais comida do que ela podia comer.

Embora a mulher tenha ficado chocada, ela pensou que poderia ter feito pouca comida para sua família e decidiu que compraria fast food mais tarde naquela noite, pois pensou que sua sogra poderia estar “com muita fome”. No entanto, as próximas ações de sua sogra a chocaram.
O que aconteceu depois?
A mulher tinha feito as pazes com a sogra comendo até se fartar, mas ela estava descontente com o que aconteceu depois. Quando sua sogra comeu até se fartar, ela perguntou se poderia pegar emprestado um recipiente para levar o resto da comida para casa para o jantar na noite seguinte.

A mulher ficou muito brava com a sogra e disse que o resto da comida seria o jantar dela naquela noite, e não para ela levar para casa para jantar na noite seguinte.
Ao ouvir isso, a sogra da mulher disse que ela poderia ficar com a comida restante. A mulher recusou, explicando que não queria comer as sobras do jantar da sogra e dando a ela um recipiente para levar a comida para casa.
Mais tarde, o marido da mulher perguntou a ela o que havia acontecido. Ela explicou que estava chateada porque havia preparado a refeição e não tinha conseguido comê-la, e que estava com fome. O marido da mulher concordou e mandou uma mensagem para sua mãe para avisá-la de que ela havia passado dos limites e para pedir que ela se desculpasse.
No entanto, em vez de se desculpar, a mãe da mulher disse que ela tinha sido rude e deveria ter cozinhado mais, prevendo que sua sogra poderia querer levar comida para casa.
A sogra então foi às redes sociais para compartilhar a história, e aqueles que viram as postagens disseram que a mulher era uma péssima anfitriã e estava errada por não cozinhar o suficiente para sua sogra levar comida para casa. Ela disse :
“Devo acrescentar também que estou grávida no momento e acho que às vezes posso ser bastante irracional devido aos hormônios.”
A resposta à sua pergunta foi retumbante, com muitos internautas dizendo que ela não era nada irracional por esperar poder comer o que ela tinha cozinhado. Muitos mostraram seu apoio dizendo que sua sogra foi rude por esperar sobras.
Outra usuária do Reddit também teve um problema com a sogra em casa quando a mulher mais velha pediu US$ 200 para ela limpar a casa. A mulher ficou indignada, especialmente porque ela não tinha pedido para a sogra limpar para ela.

I Introduced My 5-Year-Old Daughter to the Man I’ve Been Dating – She Screamed When She First Saw Him
When Jessica introduced her daughter Emma to her boyfriend Alex, she expected a warm welcome. Instead, Emma screamed in terror, convinced by her father’s warnings that Alex was a threat who would take her away forever.
I never imagined it would turn out this way. The sound of my daughter, Emma, screaming for help still rings in my ears. It was supposed to be a happy day, the day I introduced her to Alex, the man I’d been dating for over a year. But instead, it was a disaster.

Alex and I met at a charity event. He was charming and kind, always ready with a smile or a joke. We clicked immediately, and our relationship grew strong. We were serious, and I knew it was time for him to meet the most important person in my life – my daughter.
But I was scared. My divorce from Tom, Emma’s father, had been rough, and I worried about how she’d react to a new man in our lives.

Tom and I had shared custody of Emma. He usually babysat when I was out with Alex. Tom had already met Alex a few times and didn’t seem to have any problems with him. Or so I thought.
I spent days planning the perfect introduction. I made Emma’s favorite brunch – pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream. I even bought a new dress, wanting everything to be perfect. Alex arrived right on time, holding a gift and wearing his most welcoming smile.
“Hey, Alex, come on in,” I greeted him, my voice shaking slightly.

“Thanks, Jess. I’m excited to finally meet Emma,” Alex said, handing me the gift. “I hope she likes this.”
“She will,” I replied, hoping it was true. “Let me go get her.”
I walked to the bottom of the stairs and called out, “Emma, sweetheart, can you come down here for a moment? There’s someone I want you to meet.”

I heard the sound of little feet running down the stairs. But as soon as she saw Alex, she stopped dead in her tracks. Her face went pale, and she looked terrified.
“No! Mommy, please, no!” Emma screamed, tears streaming down her face. She ran to me, hiding behind my legs. “Don’t let him take me! Please, Mommy!”
I was stunned. Alex looked as confused as I felt. I knelt down to Emma’s level, trying to calm her down.

“Emma, honey, it’s okay. This is Alex. He’s a friend,” I said softly, stroking her hair.
“No! He’s bad! He will take me away! I don’t want to go!” she sobbed, clinging to me tightly.
“Why do you think he’ll take you away?” I asked, my heart breaking at her fear.
“Daddy said he will! Daddy showed me pictures and told me to run if I ever see him!” Emma cried.

I felt a surge of anger and confusion. Tom had done this? Why would he scare her like that?
Alex knelt down beside me, his face full of concern. “Emma, I’m not going to take you away. I promise. I just want to be your friend,” he said gently.
Emma didn’t respond. She just cried and held on to me tighter. I stood up, holding her in my arms, and turned to Alex.

“I think we need to figure out what’s going on here,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady.
“Yeah, we do,” Alex agreed, looking worried.
I carried Emma to the living room and sat down with her on my lap. Alex sat across from us, keeping his distance so as not to scare her further.
“Emma, can you tell me exactly what Daddy said?” I asked softly.

She sniffled and nodded. “Daddy said if I see Alex, he will take you and me away, and we will never see Daddy again. He showed me pictures of Alex and said he’s a bad man.”
I took a deep breath, feeling a mix of anger and sadness. “Emma, Daddy was wrong to say those things. Alex is not a bad man. He’s kind and he cares about us.”
Emma looked at me with wide, scared eyes. “But Daddy said…”

“I know, sweetheart. But sometimes grown-ups make mistakes. Daddy made a mistake,” I said, trying to reassure her.
Alex leaned forward slightly. “Emma, I promise I would never do anything to hurt you or your mommy. I just want us all to be happy together.”

Emma didn’t say anything, but she seemed a little calmer. I knew this was just the beginning of a long process to help her feel safe and secure around Alex. I looked at Alex, who gave me a small, supportive smile. We had a lot of work ahead of us, but I was determined to make this right.
As soon as Emma was settled in her room, I grabbed my phone and dialed Tom’s number, my hands shaking with anger. He answered on the third ring.

“Jess, what’s up?” he said casually.
“Tom, what on earth did you tell Emma about Alex?” I demanded, trying to keep my voice steady.
“What do you mean?” he replied, feigning ignorance.
“Don’t play dumb with me, Tom. Emma just had a meltdown because she thought Alex was going to take her away. She said you told her that,” I said, my anger rising. I felt tears fill my eyes.

“Well, maybe I did,” he admitted after a pause. “I don’t trust that guy, Jess. He’s going to take you and Emma away from me.”
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. “Tom, that’s not true, and you know it. You had no right to scare her like that. You’ve lost your babysitting privileges until further notice.”
Tom’s voice turned defensive. “Oh, so now I’m the bad guy? I was just looking out for her. What do you know about this Alex guy anyway? What if he’s not who you think he is?”

“That’s not your decision to make, Tom. Alex and I have been together for over a year. He’s a good man, and he cares about us. You had no right to interfere like that,” I said, trying to keep my frustration in check.
“So, I was right after all. As soon as she met that man, I was cut out of her life,” he snapped.
“No, Tom. You did this to yourself. You manipulated our daughter and filled her with fear. That’s unacceptable,” I replied, my voice shaking with anger.

Tom sighed, and I could hear the frustration in his voice. “I’m her father, Jess. I have a right to protect her.”
“Protect her from what? A man who’s done nothing but be kind to us? You’re projecting your own insecurities onto Emma, and it’s not fair to her,” I said firmly.
“Fine, maybe I overreacted. But I don’t want to be pushed out of her life,” he said, his tone softening slightly.

I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself. “Tom, you’re not being pushed out. But you need to understand that what you did was wrong. From now on, every time you see Emma, Alex will be there too. We’re going to work on this together. Emma needs to see that Alex is not a threat.”
There was a long pause on the other end of the line. Finally, Tom spoke, his voice resigned. “Alright, Jess. I’ll play along. But if he does anything to hurt her, you’ll be the one to answer for it.”

“Nothing like that is going to happen, Tom. We’re doing this for Emma’s sake. She needs stability and to know that the adults in her life can get along,” I said, hoping he would understand.
“Okay, fine. I get it. I’ll cooperate,” he muttered, clearly unhappy but accepting.
“Thank you, Tom. This is what’s best for Emma,” I said, feeling a small sense of relief.
“Yeah, whatever. Just… keep me in the loop, alright?” he said before hanging up.

I ended the call, feeling a mix of anger and sadness. I knew this was going to be tough, but I was determined to make things right for Emma. I returned to the living room, where Alex was waiting, looking concerned.
“How did it go?” he asked.
“It’s going to be a challenge, but we’ll get through it. We’re going to take it one step at a time, and we’ll do it together,” I said, feeling a bit more hopeful.

Alex nodded. “I’m with you, Jess. We’ll make this work.”
I smiled, grateful for his support. It wasn’t going to be easy, but with Alex by my side, I knew we could overcome this. We just had to be patient and strong for Emma. The road ahead was uncertain, but we were ready to face it together.
