Man Confronts His GMIL About Being A Terrible Parent And The Whole Family Erupts At Him

Allergies can be a life-threatening problem. So can dysfunctional families.

When you combine both, it can cause havoc comparable to a nuclear explosion. Just ask our OP.

She wanted to host a Christmas dinner for both sides of the family, but she was beaten to it. So, she opted for a Christmas morning breakfast.

She had prepared several meals, one of which included oranges. Her MIL is allergic to oranges, but OP thought it wasn't a big deal since she is an adult who can simply skip the orange rolls. (To clarify – orange rolls are a traditional Christmas meal in her part of the country.)

They were brightly colored in orange (surprise, surprise), so there was no possibility of mixing them with cinnamon rolls, the other dish on the table. Of course, OP mentioned the ingredients to her mother-in-law and other guests.

Unfortunately, some guests took it as a challenge. One of the MIL's sisters, who bullied her when they were children, thought it would be an excellent prank to smear the orange frosting on MIL's hand.

It quickly turned red, but the situation didn't escalate further after she washed her hand. While the allergy situation calmed down, we can't say the same for the people present.

Take a look at her story, and you will realize how normal your family is...

The last sentence is a win

Reddit

Yes, where is he?

Reddit

Awful people. Why would you want to have them over?

Reddit

MIL had options

Reddit

Exactly...

Reddit

Yes, there is something slightly masochistic about her desire to host these people...

Reddit

OP should hang garlic on the front door

Reddit

Stupid prank...

Reddit

What MIL's sister did was an assault.

Reddit

This is a way to go

Reddit

People with allergies should also be careful, not expect everyone around them to accommodate their needs.

Reddit

OP clearly stated which food contains oranges

Reddit

Someone mentioned that there was plenty of food to choose from; one Redditor disagreed.

Reddit

But, essentially, one dish is enough

Reddit

Well, we feel sorry for the OP because this doesn’t seem to be a loving family. One can’t help but wonder how she ended up there in the first place.

And where is her partner in all of this? We certainly hope she has learned her lesson and will stop inviting these people over.

They are toxic and have unhealthy relationships. Nothing good can come from hanging around these individuals.

Also, a restraining order would be advisable...
