Why am I so offended?

I am just boiling over right now, and I know I shouldn't be. JT's sister had a surprise party for their mom today, but she called me a few weeks ago to see if I could help out since she's very low on cash right now. So I volunteered to bring all of the food. She was so happy about it and we confirmed like ten times what I was bringing and how much. I was really excited because I love to cook and in the years that JT and I ahve been together, I've never gotten to cook for his family, let alone the ENTIRE family. So, we get to his sister's house today, all the freaking food in tow, and SHE COOKED TWICE AS MUCH AS I DID! I spent so much time, energy and money becuase she claimed she didnt' have any money to make food for all those people, and then she went and did it anyway. And the worst part was, NO ONE ate my food. She put out like one tenth of what I made, then she told everyone that MY MOTHER MADE THE FOOD! W T F? My mother? What the hell is that all about? So I know I shouldn't be upset becuase it's just food, but they always joke they've never had my cooking (we don't have our own house here), and I was so excited to cook for his parents and aunts and uncles and what not, and no one ate my food because his sister's a beyotch

If his sister wanted to cook so much, then she should've at least told you.

I'm sure you're a great cook.

Wow Rach...that sucks!! I would be offended too...this always happens to me because Dan is a cook. I must say, I am a damn good cook too!! They think everything I bring in, Dan has made....Give credit where its due!

Thats so rude of your FSIL to do that....

Bring some food over to us in RI and we will be happy to CHOW!!!!!!!!!!!

i would be pissed too!
you have every right to be upset, and i think JT should say something to her about it!

it's like that episode of Everybody Loves Raymond where Deb is hosting Thanksgiving Dinner and Ray's mom makes a turkey......rude rude rude...andeven Marie admitted it was wrong!

If you want to bring some of the food our way though......

I took all my food home. I have SO much ziti, I can't even fit it into my freezer. AND she had the BALLS to try and send HER food home with me. I told her I had too much of my own food to even think about hers. My family and JT boycotted her food, though
JT won't say anything to her because it's pointless. She's a twit. And as he said, was it really that surprising that she did it? And she is a TERRIBLE COOK. I'm talking stomach aches for two days kind of bad cook. ARGH! I hate his family more everyday!
So if anyone wants ziti, just let me know

I would have blurted out 'My mom, I cooked the food'

Actually, when someone said, 'Mary said your mom cooked for us, that's so nice of her!' I responded with, 'Why would my mother cook for you? I COOKED FOR YOU!' I must have repeated this about twenty f-ing times.

Ewww, that's just really, I don't even know a word to explain it...

Wow... the next time they tried to ask me for help I wouldn't even bother.

I'm sorry that you had to put all that money and effort into something that wasnt' properly appreciated.

I am so sorry that happened to you. She sounds like a real B-TCH. Try not to hold too much resentment because in the long run it will only make your life worse. BUT keep what she did in mind for the future.

Sorry Rach, that sucks. The fun just never ends with his family, huh??

That's just rude behavior. It stinks that you have to put up with this competitive nonsense. She's probably just jealous of you!

Wow, that's awful!! She must have been pretty insecure to have gone through all that effort to make sure you didn't get recognized for your cooking...people are just really strange sometimes!

Bright side - now you don't have to cook dinner for a few weeks Aren't freezers wonderful things???!!!

I would be REALLY upset too, but hey, it's true..a freezer is a wonderful thing!


I hate in laws!
