A guy’s mom has started an interesting family tradition of sorts in that every single holiday; she requests that the women in their family bake different desserts for her to sample.

His sisters, his female cousins, his sister-in-law, and his wife all bake different things for his mom to test out.

If his mom approves of someone’s recipe, she includes their dessert in the holiday menu. Definitely, a curious holiday tradition, isn’t it?

Anyway, his wife feels that his mom goes out of her way to reject every single thing that she has ever baked for this tradition.

“So many times, my mother has told her that she’s being honest and keeping the guests’ best interest at heart,” he explained.

“Yet my wife still thought that my mother is deliberately excluding her since 2 of her dessert samples were rejected before.”

“For this year’s Christmas, my mother is doing the same thing, but this time, she told every woman who is participating to make a “cookie sample” and send it to her for testing. My wife took it as a challenge, and to be honest, she worked really hard to make a good sample and sent it to my mother days ago and the results just came in yesterday.”

The day that his wife got the results of her Christmas cookies back, he came home from work and realized that his wife was super upset.

When he questioned her about why she was in such a bad mood, she let him know that his mom had turned down the sample she sent out, so that means she’s not going to have her baking included on the menu for Christmas this year.

He wasn’t sure how to make his wife feel better, so he struggled with what he should say, but his wife then informed him that she will be skipping out on spending Christmas with his family this year.

He couldn’t believe that she said that, and he did his best to convince her to change her mind, yet she wouldn’t.

“I called her unreasonable to decide to bail on the whole family over some cookie sample…that’s just freaking crazy and quite unreasonable,” he said.

“We had a full-on argument about it, and she stated that my mother caused this, but I told her that my mother is pretty serious and careful about the food she offers to the guests since we are going to have relatives coming from all sides of the country. She told me to stop mentioning it.”

Oh, and in case you are curious, 2 of his cousins and his sister baked things that did make it to the menu. He’s left wondering if it was mean of him to tell his wife that she wasn’t being reasonable for no longer wanting to attend Christmas with his family.

Do you think his wife has every reason to be upset over not getting picked to have her food on the menu for another year in a row?
