“Honestly when I heard this I was flabbergasted. It seems so rude to me to ask this when 1) she knows we are tight on budget and 2) I made specific plans for her to have enough vegan options, it’s not like she would have starved.”
“She might be a picky eater, but there were so many options: she could have offered to pay for her caterer, or even to take it upon herself to order it on her own.”
Putting herself in her sister-in-law’s shoes, she never would have handled things this way. She would have simply filled up at breakfast and not made a big deal about it at all.
While she does like her sister-in-law overall, she knows her fiancé goes out of his way to baby and spoil her, even though she’s close to 40-years-old.
Furthermore, her sister-in-law has spent years expecting her fiancé and their mom to pay for her entire life after she made a career change and completely quit her job.
That doesn’t exactly bother her, but her sister-in-law never expressed her gratitude or appreciation, nor does she attempt to rein in her crazy spending.
“My fiancé stopped sending her money some time ago but that was just because his mom took over,” she said.
Circling back to the vegan issue at hand though, she argued with her fiancé about it for the last several weeks before giving in.
“My fiancé says this is nonnegotiable as he wants to please his sister and will pay for it on his own dime,” she continued. “He thinks I am being insensitive.”
Although she does not agree with her fiancé on this one, she’s letting him pay for his sister’s demands since she doesn’t think this is the hill she wants to die on, nor does she want to be seen as a “bridezilla.”
She does still think her sister-in-law is downright rude, and she’s curious if you think so too.
