‘I refuse to accommodate her': Former mother-in-law refuses to attend Christmas dinner unless it's on ‘her terms’

Family Christmas dinners are either the event you most look forward to OR the event that you are wholeheartedly dreading every day of the year until December, by which time you accept your fate.

One daughter-in-law, who for the sake of this story, we will call OP, feared the latter, as she was no longer with her spouse, and did not take a liking to his family at all. The mother-in-law, who we will call Karen, liked to scowl, drink, complain, and do things her way. She never went out of her way for OP's kids, and saw them only once a year, even though she lived 30 minutes away. That didn't stop her from posting all kinds of pictures on social media, making it seem like she was the worlds greatest grandma.

OP was sort of forced to invite Karen for Christmas,  because what else could she do? The kids had no idea how awful she was, and OP did not want to ruin their Christmas. That is, until Karen pulled a stunt that left even OP at a loss for words. For more stories like this, check out another Karen in the form of a disgruntled customer who told the bank teller off for giving her an 'unusable card', making them print it again and again… until it cost her.
