What’s the most batshit thing your DIL has said or done recently?

[CurlewKate]

Mine came to lunch on Sunday and expected me to cook her a separate vegetarian meal.

Well usually when you give unasked for dangerous and outdated advice on how others should parent their children then they do tend to take a bit of a 'won't you just fuck off' attitude.

Im confused.

Who wanted the veggie meal? Ars they veggie?

If you invited your vegetarian MIL to dinner, and didn’t cater for her, I would be ‘leaping to her defence’, @CurlewKate. When you invite someone for a meal, you cater for their dietary needs, if at all possible. If you genuinely can’t cater for them (if they are Kosher, for example) you tell them, and suggest meeting somewhere you can all get food that suits you.

@CurlewKate u ok hun?

Hang on I’m really not sure that’s true. If someone told me their entitled mil expected vegetarian food I (as a vegetarian) would be very much onside with the fellow chickpea chomper.

If she’s vegetarian and you’ve invited her to dinner then yes you should be providing a vegetarian option for her regardless of if it’s your DIL, MIL or whoever, it’s not exactly difficult these days to find a vegetarian alternative.

Fuck me. Tell me no-one likes you without telling me no-one likes you.

Well, this post qualifies as batshit.

Of course you cook and serve a vegetarian, a vegetarian meal!!
My beloved neice and her husband are veggie and I always cook them veggie meals, alongside our non veggie. It's No problem.

Why would the answers be different? I'm veggie and the MIL. It's not pandering when my DIL cooks especially for me, nor unreasonable of me to ask. You sound batshit.

Are you joking??

I wouldn’t expect ANY VEGETARIAN I invited to my house to eat meat. Doesn’t matter if they are DIL, MIL. Why? Because I’m not a sociopath. Likewise if they are allergic to dairy etc, I’ll make an option for them, otherwise why bother inviting them? Do you not care about being a good host?

If a close member of my family was a vegetarian of course I would cook them a vegetarian meal! Why wouldnt you?

I assumed OP was the (vegetarian) MIL and that her DIL failed to cater for her. But to be honest, with this sort of thread it's deeply hard to care.

She sounds awful. Has your son always had bad taste?

MIL, DIL, whomever. If you invite a vegetarian (vegan, lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant etc etc) to your home, you cater for them appropriately. What are we all missing here?

Way to make a guest feel welcome!

Not at all, most people happily cater for dietary requirements. You sound like you are just waiting to be offended no matter what is said.

Don’t understand why someone who is a vegetarian whether they are a DIL or a MIL wouldn’t expect to be catered for by family.

I really don’t get what you are trying to say

I have never seen a post on MN where someone says one of their guests, MIL or otherwise, is vegetarian, and posters saying she should then bring her own food or just eat veggies

@CurlewKate you started a thread asking what’s the most “batshit thing” your dil has ever done.. Immediately people are expecting nasty things. Asking for a vegetarian meal at Xmas or for plans to support her to see an elderly grandparent at Christmas isn’t “batshit”. Now none of us know the dynamic between the two of you, however you clearly have some big issues with her that fairly normal requests like these appear to you as “batshit”. Maybe spend some more time asking yourself why that is, what role are you perhaps playing and how can you fix it. It sounds like you’re really bothered by things that honestly shouldn’t be upsetting you so much.

This. Why are you making a big deal of having to cater for someone's dietary requirements you've invited over?!

OP's posts in this thread are obviously tongue in cheek .

This isn't a reverse, there is no vegetarian daughter in law (probably). A point is being made about family relationships and mil bashing. Unless I'm the one not getting it. In which case I will stop drinking my coffee and go and find something stronger.
