YTA I was leaning towards NAH, but you mentioned that your brother has now said you can bring your beef and rice, but you’re continuing to dig your heels in for no reason. You got your way… you can take your beef. There’s no need to be a jerk at this point. Now you sound like you’re enjoying the drama. >my brother is telling me I can bring my beef and rice but I am still refusing to go It’s more the principle of the whole thing at this point
G
Disagree. Jenna not only completely disregarded their medical condition, she insulted them because she doesn’t believe in said medical condition. Spending time with people who firmly disbelief in your medical history is **insufferable**. That’s the point that OP needs an apology for/understand of, not just “okay, yeah, you can bring your food this time, since it’s such a big deal. 🙄”. Otherwise, Jenna is going to start trying to “prove” that OP is “just picky” and that their family is enabling them, the same way she tried to do this time.
M
That’s a lot of assumptions. Sounds like SIL messed up big time, and now she and her brother are making moves to fix the situation. Keep in mind, this is now impacting other family members too. OP is refusing to go “on principal” even though her SIL and brother and trying to resolve the situation. SIL sounds super ignorant, don’t get me wrong. But OP is coming across as difficult. “I won’t go because I can’t bring beef and rice. Now I won’t go because at one point, I couldn’t bring beef and rice. I’m going to go on Reddit to complain about that one time I was told I couldn’t bring beef and rice, even though I can bring it now.”
S
if she was truly trying to resolve the situation she would be calling and apologizing, not having her husband “give permission” to bring the beef
N
Yeah, where’s the apology? Why should OP go to ‘keep the peace’ when SIL can’t even apologise for ignoring someone’s health needs? Edit: people have been mentioning an update that she apologised. >I am not going… I talked to her and she apologized and told me I can bring my food (that was fin) and then told me she would still like me to try her food. I told her I can’t again and __she said I was just need to try more food__ . She’s acting like I am being picky. I can’t fucking eat it without throwing up Folks, an apology is an admission of error ie, I was wrong, I won’t do it again. If someone apologises, and then immediately repeats their mistake, not taking the OP”s medical condition at their word, that’s not a fucking apology.
E
And even if OP’s brother said the beef and rice was fine, SIL sounds possibly like the type who might make snide remarks in front of the other guests. That’s just a guess but she doesn’t sound very sympathetic to OP’s health issues. OP NTA.
E
That was not an apology. That was a half-assed apology and then turning around and doubling down and acting like oh will you just need to try. It’s a medical condition. It’s not about trying, she’s not picky. She has a legitimate medical condition. And there’s no sense in her having to get sick just to stroke her sister-in-law’s ego about not feeling bad about someone not being able to eat her food.
F
This. It’s just a recipe for disaster. We don’t even know if OPs brother consulted with her or how her reaction was if so, and how the event would go / how Jenna will react. IMO, it’s avoiding extra stress on OP to not go, because as someone who HAS been in a similar situation and did this / still accommodated myself and went, all I’ve ever gotten were snide comments, remarks, people trying to mess with my food, etc. because they don’t realize the severity.
K
OP mentioned she did call and OP chose not to speak to her
T
Oh I just called her She told me to try more food I’m not going
F
HAHAHA. NO. do not go. Do not. Please. These are the type of people that if you bring your own stuff or try to accommodate with what they have, they’ll STILL sneak food in or not tell you if there’s an unsafe food. Cheese is a huge unsafe food for me. The amount of times I’ve vomit ON people because they try to “sneak it in because I’m being picky” I’ve lost count of. There was no “haha, it’s actually cheese!” Reveal. They just don’t believe you. They’re ableist.
H
She’d probably try with Impossible Burger or something. It’s decent for normal ingredient substitution, but the texture will feel disconcertingly off if you’re expecting real hamburger. My grandpa likely had ARFID. He ate everything Grandma made for him, and she only made him safe food. He was embarrassed about being such a ‘picky’ eater. Grandma was big on manners and etiquette so I learned it was rude to make a big deal about other people’s eating habits.
E
“Awwwww…. you’d \*like\* cheese if you saw how I fix it.” They don’t get and won’t get that you can’t HAVE it.
J
Check out the update. SIL is definitely an AH. Shes “allowing” OP to bring their own food but still completely invalidating their condition.
C
Sister in law didn’t mess up. She knew about the medical issue and still said no. She just got pissed someone didn’t want to follow her vegetarian diet. Definitely not sorry or she would say I’m sorry
S
Calling disabled people difficult for not wanting to degrade themselves for the comfort of others tracks with this whole conversation
L
Until SIL herself apologizes and tries to mend things with OP, there’s no reason they should go. SIL caused the damage, its not up to brother to fix it. OP is NTA.
B
Only sounds like they’re trying to “fix” it because family members besides OP aren’t attending as well.
O
>That’s a lot of assumptions. Sounds like SIL messed up big time, and now she and her brother are making moves to fix the situation It really isn’t. I’m assuming this was posted before the update where SIL specifically said she was going to try and make OP eat what she made. So SIL remains the person who minimized someone’s medical condition, refused to apologize, triangulated a backtrack using a third party (her husband) and landed on still trying to have OP eat the food because she learned absolutely nothing.
1
She’s still trying to force him to try the eggplant tho, I don’t really see how that’s in effort to fix the situation. SIL is more focused on being “right” in front of everyone rather a making amends.
M
Don’t get me wrong , I love eggplant. But eggplant is a difficult texture for a lot of people even with about the AFRID component.
F
Brother is trying to make amends. There is no indication SIL is making an effort.
B
Or, “I won’t go because the host is actively calling me a liar and sticking to it”. I’m sorry, but “the host is actively disrespecting me” is a perfectly valid reason not to go.
G
The fact that SIL is still insisting that OP try her dish and “just needs to try more food” means while she’s accepting the alternative food be brought, she has the same attitude about OP’s medical condition being made up. She basically called and said “I’m sorry for assuming you were just being picky, but actually you’re just being picky.” I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t care to spend time with someone who thought I was making up a medical condition and kept insisting I just get over it.
M
Its NOT i can’t go bc you can now bring it…it’s the push that she NEEDS to try her food bs. It’s a medical condition get tf over yourself SIL
G
I disagree. Jenna should have been the one to apologize and call OP. The brother caught wind of the situation and is trying to fix it–Jenna is just going to sit there and play the victim or try to pick apart OP’s medical issue. I think OP *is* making it difficult, but I also think it’s justified. OP asked and explained ahead of time and Jenna downplayed everything and basically said you are going to eat what I make. Brother is trying to make things right, but OP doesn’t want to sit there and have Jenna glaring at them eating their beef. Put it this way, if OP was serving dinner and Jenna said she doesn’t eat meat and OP said you have to eat what I make, OP would the AH. I wouldn’t go because this wasn’t a sincere apology or a misunderstanding, it was the brother putting a bandaid on a broken arm.
G
Thats my thing, how many posts and videos have we seen where the disbelieving party pretends to accept that the person has a medical condition, only to try and “trick” them into eating something that lands them in the hospital.
H
Happened to my Muslim friends. Someone lied about a dish containing pork and it resulted in a hospital stay for my friend and her 3 year old daughter. Sometimes when you have never eaten a food before your body can have trouble digesting it.
L
Someone tried to do this to one of my vegetarian friends. She had been so most of her life because meat made her sick. Almost every kind was hard for her to digest and she got tired of throwing up. So she stopped eating it. They didn’t believe her and tried putting bacon in her pancakes.
H
Oh that’s awful 😖
S
What a horrible thing to do!!!
G
Thats what im saying! What would the SIL say if she wasnt allowed to bring veggies if OP was having a dinner or somthing at their housem
H
Personally I’m a fan of ARFID people just going along with the silly demands, taking a bite of the offered food, and hurling all over the dinner table. But it depends how much you like the other people in attendance.
M
That’s like OP sneaking meat into something she made SIL because vegetarianism is just being picky.
T
With Celiac I have to check lables on EVERYTHING. One year I trusted the cook and ended up in the bathroom on the toilet with a bucket in my lap. 10 days later it happened AGAIN. I always bring my own food.
E
Excuse you! Why the hell would she want to sit through an evening with a woman who will make passive aggressive comments which it’s bloody obvious she would when she can avoid it? So her brother says she can bring her food that doesn’t eliminate the issue of SIL being an absolute di*k.
0
With all the updates to Op’s post, I don’t agree. Seems like she still doesn’t believe OPs medical condition is real, which makes her the asshole regardless of conceding and letting them bring their food.
A
Funny you’re happy to give the SIL a free pass….she’s the asshat in this story….but gets no mention from you.
T
It needs to come from Jenna with a genuine apology and some display of understanding. It’s not about being able to bring the food, it’s about the attitude and having a medical condition dismissed as a juvenile choice. OP spoke with Jenna who apologized while also doubling down. Jenna is *firmly* the AH here and she needs to get it together. She is way out of line and doesn’t understand some things.
M
She has a medical condition her SIL is trying to bully her into vomiting to prove it’s validity to her SIL. SIL is TA
D
OP is not going for no reason…Jenna totally disrespected and dismissed him…and it was brother who said bring it. Jenna owes OP a sincere apology.
T
It’s not drama to ask for basic respect.
L
Why should the victim give in here? How is this being difficult? The only reason OP is allowed to bring food is because the rest of the family got upset. Jenna does not seem sincere at all. OP doesn’t owe anyone anything here. And an invite is not a summons…
B
It was a NTA when Jenna said the OP was being picky.
C
I disagree I don’t think it’s a bad thing to dig in your heels and teach a lesson over the idea that they only relented when other people’s solidarity ruined her get together If she would have come around on her own and apologized that would have been different
T
Look, I get why you held your stand, but now you’re just being picky. “I can bring it but am still refusing to go.” WTF is the actual “principle” that you are uplifting at this point? That you can’t forgive? That they can’t change? That you want to weaponize the whole family against them? You were originally N T A but you are full-scale YTA now for being punitive.
T
I don’t want to be in the company of someone that thinks I made some shit up and be called picky for a medical issue I don’t, I have lived my whole life dealing with people thinking I am just being a pain in the ass So yeah I don’t want to go to dinner with someone that called my medical issue me being picky
E
Your side is fair but he’s married to her so it’s not a one time thing. What if you took some time to educate her on ARFID? Honestly, most people don’t know what this is. I only learned about it from watching Real Housewives lol. TBF your brother should have explained it to her by now, but if he hasn’t or doesn’t understand it, sitting down with both of them and talking about it is the only helpful option for an ongoing relationship. You were triggered by her bc of past experiences. She’s prob also triggered bc she’s a vegetarian and people have prob refused her food before. You’re actually probably both triggered by each other for the exact same thing – lack of understanding. At least try to repair it since it’s not a one time issue.
X
\> What if you took some time to educate her on ARFID? Honestly, most people don’t know what this is. How about it shouldn’t be OP’s responsibility to do the exhausting mental work for her? She still insists on OP just being picky eater even while “apologizing.”
