Thanksgiving is famous for football, food, and family feuds. However, one woman got a taste of the latter two while she was still preparing for the holiday.
In aposton the subreddit ‘Am I the [Jerk?]’, she explained that, just like each year, her sister-in-law demanded a separate meal due to her ever-changing dietary choices.
The woman tried to reason with her and searched for solutions that wouldn’t require her to put in additional effort in the kitchen (after all, she was already going to host the entire family), but it quickly blew into what her husband called “ridiculous high school drama.”
Continue scrolling to read her story, which serves as a reminder that sometimes your relatives can push you to the very limit.

While there aren’t any magic foods for getting pregnant, making the right dietary choices and including a healthy amount of physical activity in your daily life can make a difference in your probability of becoming fertile if you are experiencing problems with ovulation.
There are things people who are trying to conceive should ignore, too. For example, if you’re having continued trouble, your doctor may suggest limiting dairy.
“We’re being exposed to dairy in mass quantities that’s more hormonally-driven, meaning the production of cow dairy has become very chemically manipulated,” Vitti explains. “These excess hormones may disrupt the conversation that the brain is trying to have with the endocrine system, particularly your ovaries.”
However, it can be overwhelming for someone to devise a menu that’s suitable for everyone coming over.
Thanksgiving, despite itsquestionable historyandracist origins, is actually meant to be quite pleasant.
It’s an occasion when you’re supposed to put your worries aside, spend time with your loved ones, and focus on your blessings.
So if you have additional requests for the host, maybe you could offer them help in organizing the whole thing as well?
