Round at mil’s for a lunch, nice simple food provided, my kids eating then all of a sudden during eating SILS child says i dint like this, so SIL asks for a pizza to be cooked for him in the middle of the family
meal, resulting In disturbance and work for MIL
I think this is appalling behaviour from a mother in front of her family, I would not dream of this. She is a clever, whole food type
mum but has this ghastly attitude around food and self entitlement AIBU?? The kids will eventually have the ‘little prince’ complex due to this parenting I believe

If MIL went and did it that's on her. The consequences on the way child grows up are on their parents.

You're right, it's very entitled, but none of it is your business.

That’s so rude! I wouldn’t dream of doing that to my MIL or even my own Mum! Fair enough the child didn’t like the food but they could’ve given something else that wouldn’t up end the whole meal and mean more work for MIL. Obviously I’m not saying the child should be forced to eat the food if they don’t like to but surely MIL wouldn’t cook food they know GC didn’t like anyway (unless I’ve misunderstood the relationship)
