Despite that, though, he was still pretty shocked by how Eve planned to cook everything. But one more detail totally sent him over the edge.
Apparently, Eve said that she was going to cook everything the day before. Then, she planned to just reheat the food at his parent’s house– and he was appalled.
“I snapped at Eve. I told her that I know she was being frugal by not going back to work but that Christmas dinner was not the meal for her to be cheap on. Especially mom’s first Christmas after her husband died,” he recalled.
Then, he actually told Eve that if she was not prepared to make a fresh meal that was not full of frozen food and “god knows how old,” then she should never have offered to cook for Christmas in the first place. Yikes.
After he tore into his brother’s girlfriend, she left the room and claimed she needed to feed her son upstairs.
And once Eve was gone, his brother got really annoyed with him.
In fact, his brother claimed that he was super rude and revealed all of the reasons why Eve chose to prepare the meal that way.
For instance, she apparently only decided to use ingredients like tinned potatoes and cook things in advance to make her life easier.
After all, Eve is the primary caretaker of her newborn son. So, if she could take a few shortcuts in order to juggle childcare and cooking, she was going to do it.
Anyway, after this argument, his mother ended up hearing about the whole ordeal and got involved. In fact, his mom actually revealed how Eve had gone upstairs to cry– not feed her son.
So, his mother called him out for making Eve upset– especially after he knew how stressed Eve had been trying to look after her son. And now, he is pretty torn about how to feel.
