A pregnant woman shared her frustrating ordeal on Reddit when her mother-in-law ate her dinner and then criticized her. She had prepared Swedish meatballs, mashed potatoes, broccoli, and homemade bread for everyone, serving generous portions. While she briefly stepped out, her mother-in-law devoured her meal, piling her bowl with more than she could eat. The woman thought she could grab fast food later to compensate for the missing meal.

When her mother-in-law asked for a container to take leftovers home, the woman explained that it was meant for her dinner that night, not takeout. Annoyed, she gave her the container anyway. After discussing it with her husband, he supported her and messaged his mother, calling her actions greedy and selfish and demanding an apology.

The mother-in-law responded defensively, claiming the woman should have cooked more and anticipated her taking leftovers. She also posted the incident on social media, leading people to criticize the woman as an impolite hostess. The situation remains unresolved, leaving the woman hungry and frustrated.
