Her Mother-In-Law Insulted The Party She Threw, So She Called Her Out In Front Of Everyone
Over the weekend, this 32-year-old woman got into a fight with her 57-year-old mother-in-law at the party she had planned for their family.
Several months back, her family agreed to have a big party, and her mother-in-law was supposed to host it in the beginning.
However, her mother-in-law crafted so many excuses about how it would be “too much work” while adding that it would overwhelm her.
She stepped in and agreed to throw the party instead. She has two little kids and a full-time job, so the last thing she needed was a party on her plate, but she was concerned about everyone having a wonderful time.
“I spent days planning. I made a ton of food, cleaned my entire house, decorated, even made a little “kids corner” with activities so the parents could relax. It wasn’t perfect, but I really tried,” she explained.
“Well, during the gathering, I was in the kitchen getting more drinks when I overheard MIL talking to some of the other relatives. And what does she say?”
“That the party was “thrown together last minute,” that the decorations looked “cheap,” and that the food was “boring” and “probably store-bought.” Then she laughed and said, “This is why I didn’t bother hosting. I knew she wouldn’t be able to pull it off properly.”
It was like her mother-in-law had slapped her across the face. She marched right over and called her mother-in-law out in front of everyone by pointing out she had refused to even host the party.
Everyone went quiet and she added that her mother-in-law should have hosted after all if her standards were so high, but she dumped the responsibility on her and talked badly behind her back in the process.

Her mother-in-law was clearly humiliated, and her husband jumped in to say she worked her heart out putting the whole party together.
Some of their family is on her side, but others believe she shouldn’t have said anything since that was the more adult way to handle her mother-in-law.
“MIL ended up leaving early, and now I’m getting texts saying I embarrassed her and ruined the gathering with “unnecessary drama,” she continued.
“But honestly?? I don’t think I should just smile and take it when someone insults me after I worked so hard.”
