A woman’s family dinner turned into an uncomfortable situation when her mother-in-law criticized her eating habits. The woman, known for her slim figure, shared her story on Reddit, seeking advice on dealing with her overbearing mother-in-law. The 27-year-old woman, with a fast metabolism and an active job, maintains her slim physique despite her hearty meals.

She opened up about her strained relationship with her mother-in-law, who often scrutinizes her food intake. During a dinner with her in-laws, the woman, starving after a long day, ordered a generously sized steak dish. Her mother-in-law made comments about her choice, insinuating that someone of her size shouldn’t eat so much. The woman brushed it off and mentioned she’d take leftovers home. However, when she finished her meal and ordered dessert, her mother-in-law accused her of seeking attention and demanded that the couple pay the entire bill. The woman refused, reminding her of the costly dishes her mother-in-law had ordered. Despite the unpleasant dinner, the woman’s husband supported her. Reddit users showed solidarity, with one suggesting, “I wouldn’t go to dinner with someone who wants to police my food.”
