Carla and her husband hosted Thanksgiving with their families. She and her mother prepared a full feast with three turkeys, while her mother-in-law only contributed cookies. After the evening, Carla assumed her mother-in-law handled the cleanup, but the next morning, she discovered the fridge was nearly empty, with only a bag of dressing and some cookies left.
Her husband mentioned seeing his mom taking several containers. Carla feels disrespected, as she was happy to share leftovers, but this felt excessive. She now doesn’t want to host Christmas, but her husband seems more upset with her for refusing than with his mom’s actions. Carla is frustrated and disappointed.
