My Step-mother in-law came for Christmas

My father in-law and step-mother in-law came to visit for 9 days over Christmas. They don’t have much and my father in-law was very grateful for everything we did and shared with them while they were here. My step-mother in-law, on the other hand, is the worst choosing beggar I’ve ever seen in my life.

Day 1, my husband made them a large breakfast as they arrived overnight. CB wouldn’t eat any of it because she only eats egg whites and we used all the eggs to make a big scramble. Lists off a bunch of items she’d be willing to eat, none of which we have. I offer her a bagel, she says she’ll eat one with cheese and bacon, so I make her a bagel sandwich. She complains that she doesn’t eat cheddar.

I spent at least $300 on food to make at home since I figured we wouldn’t really be eating out much since they couldn’t afford to, so I wanted to have plenty of food around the house. My first night making dinner, I am putting leftovers away and she says she “doesn’t do leftovers”. Excuse me??

The next day she wants pizza, so we order some pizza. She gets a large mushroom and pepperoni pizza (gross) and everyone else shares a Hawaiian pizza. The rest of her pizza goes bad because she won’t eat the leftovers and no one else will eat it with mushrooms.

Every day it’s something else “I want a cheeseburger, I want ribs, I won’t eat there, I don’t want that”. By the end of the week we are all scraping by eating fast food for every meal because she won’t eat the fridge filled with leftovers (except me and my husband).

Their last full day we take them out for BBQ because she wanted ribs for days. She gets her ribs, takes a bite, doesn’t want them. Two racks of ribs, wasted. The next morning we stop for breakfast on the way to the airport. Anyone wanna guess what kind of cheese she ordered for her egg white omelet? Yup, cheddar.

Good riddance lady
