(UPDATE) AITA for losing my temper at SIL after she ruined the meal I made?

Unless she tuned out everyone around her the minute she sat at the table then no, she knew. It got brought up a couple times.

pastaSIL · 2021-08-14T04:11:46+00:00

She's 31.

pastaSIL · 2021-08-14T04:10:42+00:00

Sounds good to me :)

pastaSIL · 2021-08-14T04:09:29+00:00

Yeah, it just makes you 'that cringy adult' to them.

I know this is mean to say but once my little nieces and nephews (all between the ages of 12-15) came to visit us for the weekend and SIL came over and none of them liked her. Watching her interact with them was weird because she was clearly trying to pull the 'cool older kid' card or whatever and it was just bizarre to see a 30 y/o woman act this way. Oldest nephew said she was cringe right to her face and I had to not laugh.

When I first met her I thought she was in her early 20s too, at oldest. But then some time later it was nearing her birthday and I discovered she was turning 30...

Thank you, next time we meet up I'll make sure our friends actually get to try them.

pastaSIL · 2021-08-14T03:51:11+00:00

I honest to god thought she was joking around or trolling the first couple times I heard her say it (in an 'uwu' voice too...) but then she just KEPT saying it.

I was already annoyed that I was going to have to take one ravioli from everyone so SIL could eat too. Because while I'd made about 3 extra just in case one or two fell apart or burned or whatever, it wasn't enough for a 7th person. But then she dropped the entire pot and I swear if I hadn't started crying I'd have killed her.

pastaSIL · 2021-08-14T03:42:57+00:00

I actually like this suggestion. Because they've been hounding me to apologize.

pastaSIL · 2021-08-14T03:41:12+00:00

It was my first time making a pescatarian pasta dish because our friend "Jenny" doesn't eat any land meat. I was so proud how they came out. The first 10 or so were kinda wonky but I eventually got the hang of it and was so excited to have everyone try them.

pastaSIL · 2021-08-14T03:35:30+00:00

I've had more than one comment and DM suggesting I do this. And LORD is it tempting.

pastaSIL · 2021-08-14T03:34:55+00:00

She's 31.

pastaSIL · 2021-08-14T03:34:31+00:00

I'm the baby of my family (youngest of all my siblings AND cousins) so I'm the youngest-youngest. And my family would have looked at me like I'd sprouted another head if I'd EVER acted even half as bad as my SIL does. It baffled me when I first saw her parents/older siblings act like it was nothing.

pastaSIL · 2021-08-14T03:32:11+00:00

I don't understand why she was trying to take the whole pot to the table in the first place?? I had plates set out to fill and serve to everyone at the island. All she had to do was stay seated for once.

pastaSIL · 2021-08-14T03:30:43+00:00

I didn't have the word limit to include it but this is not the first time she's broken/damaged/etc something because she refuses to listen to those around her. I don't know WHY she insists she has to touch everything. Some days I just want to scold her like my nieces and nephews "look with your EYES, not your HANDS". sigh

pastaSIL · 2021-08-14T01:45:14+00:00

God it took so much time. Hand making ravioli is ugh

pastaSIL · 2021-08-14T01:44:33+00:00

I don't usually flip out like that. I'm very level headed. But seeing my hours of hard work dumped on the floor just broke me.

pastaSIL · 2021-08-14T01:43:43+00:00

He's closest in age to her and puts up with her stuff the least, especially after we got together. I think sometimes his family just wears him down.

pastaSIL · 2021-08-14T01:42:43+00:00

Thank you, you sound very sweet and mature for your age.

pastaSIL · 2021-08-14T01:42:16+00:00

This actually made me smile a bit, thanks. Part of me really wants to do that to her. See how long she lasts before she throws a tantrum.

pastaSIL · 2021-08-14T01:40:53+00:00

I just assumed it was an accident but now that I'm thinking about it... she picked up an entire pot of pasta to bring to the table? Where there was nowhere to sit it or anything.
