The worst part about the Holidays is always coordinating logistics with difficult family members. Nearly everyone has that one person in their family who makes Holiday planning extra challenging. There are, of course, a plethora of reasons why someone might be difficult to deal with during this time. Perhaps they are merely disorganized and can't commit to a schedule in advance. Perhaps they are too particular about how things need to be done (looking at all you picky eaters out there who are not like this because of dietary restrictions). And then there are the folks who have high expectations for everyone else in the family but fail to put in any work themselves.

Here, we have an entitled woman who always had her main Holiday meal with her in-laws but never enjoyed their cooking, so when she and her family stopped by her sister's place after dinner, she would mooch off of her food. This year, the sister had enough and refused to prepare more than just dessert. After all, she was already getting dinner elsewhere, so this shouldn't have been an issue at all, and yet, it was. That was mostly because of the entitled woman's refusal to accept the reality that she just might not get the outcome that she wants for once in her life.

    Just desserts. For over 20 years I have hosted holidays at my place. My sister and her family moved out of state, but are close enough to come back for each holiday.

    Sounds great right? Well, not so much. Sister and her family always go to her in-laws place for the big meal, and since her MIL is not a great cook they just pick at the food then invade my place for "leftovers" aka the entire meal

    afterwards. Now you're probably thinking what's the big deal, right? Well the big deal is that it's gotten to the point my recipe for mashed potatoes starts with a 10 pound bag of potatoes, the turkey barely fits in the oven, the sides take up the entire counter,

    and I use an entire quart of cream for just desserts. It's a huge undertaking and not only does sister not contribute financially, she never even has the decency to let me know whether they are coming or when.

    This year I texted the family that my kids were going to make the meal for just us and if anyone wanted to join us afterwards I'd have dessert and only dessert to

    share. As usual I got a text from everyone else but nothing from sister. Rather than trying to chase her down, I "assumed" she had gotten the message and went on with my plans.

    The times comes and the kids put on a lovely meal. We eat and enjoy ourselves then pack up the leftovers. A few family showed up over the next hour and we chatted happily. Then it happens.

    The cars pulling into the driveway. Sister's family has arrived. They invade in usual style going round giving quick hugs before heading for the kitchen. It took less than 30 seconds before she's out (trying to be polite since there are still others there) to ask where the food is.

    Me: aren't the pies on the counter? The bread pudding is in the crockpot, the sauce is on the stove. Her: yes, but where's the food?

    At this point the others are starting to catch on to what's up, and trading glances. Me: I told everyone that we were only doing dessert. Did you not get the message?

    Her: you know we can't actually eat at MILs house. We were counting on eating here before we drive back. Me: well I think there should be fast food open somewhere between here and your place.

    Her adult kids were trickling out of the kitchen at this point looking around as if a turkey dinner is going to magically appear out of thin air and everyone else is practically holding their breath waiting to see what happens.

    She spewed some not nice comments about how they were probably not going to find anything open and it was my fault they were going hungry, told "the kids" to grab something to eat in the cars and stomped out.

    I don't know who lost their composure first, but I think it was my uncle who cracked and started laughing. Once we calmed back down the rest of us had quite the nice evening enjoying just desserts.

    baka-tari. Aw h I, you could have at least baked 4 and 20 blackbirds into a pie so she could eat crow. Good for you, not feeding her entitlement. Or her family.

    Trebled Heart ⚫ If she's gonna treat you like a food stop before heading home, maybe you should start meeting her at the door and asking for payment before she gets the food like a fast food joint would.

    Own_Breakfast... It begs the question if your sister knew her mother-in- law's cooking was and they don't eat the food there why didn't she stay her a at home and make her own food with her own family instead of being a mooch?

    Discombobulat... I absolutely can not imagine showing up to someone,s home empty handed, not help cook and clean as we go, and not help clean up after. Who does that??
