After giving birth to her first child, an exhausted mom was not ready to have guests over for a meal but she agreed to have her husband’s family over so they could finally see their baby!

When she asked her Asian husband if they could simply order takeout, he insisted that she cook anything for them. The tired mother prepared a mac and cheese dish, thinking that it would be fine for her in-laws. But when she served it, she was amazed by their reaction!

“Once I served the family, My husband’s mom looked at me and was appalled. I noticed something was wrong. She asked if I really found it “appropriate” to serve her and the family Mac N cheese.

“I asked why not and she went on a rant about how disrespectful this was and that I clearly have no experience in what is right and wrong when it comes to hosting. “I said excuse me? Who said I signed up to host an expected visit from them and she took it as in I didn’t want them there.

Her husband said they were just there to finally see the baby that I kept them from seeing for an entire month. That’s a whole month of his life they “missed” out on.” The new mom continued: “We had an argument and they decided to go home.

“I told him I was too tired to cook their “traditional feasts” that I had to learn from his mother.” He took offense and accused me of being cruel and disrespectful to not only his family but also to his culture. “My husband stayed on the phone with his family for an hour then gave me the cold shoulder and refused to eat what I cooked in support of his family,” I explained.

“I see how some guests, particularly his family, could find it insulting,” she added. But all I was attempting to do was make a quick homemade lunch for my spouse. “What’s the deal with Mac and cheese?”

People on Reddit were quick to respond, with one commenting, “I’m Asian, and if anything, it’d be my relatives coming over and bringing me food.” No one would expect a tired new mother to prepare a full meal.”

“If they were so ‘traditional,’ they should have shown up with food, offered to clean the house, and run a load of laundry while they’re at it,” wrote another. What are your thoughts on the matter? Tell us in the comments, and SHARE this article with your friends and family!
