AITAH for refusing to eat/ feed my kids my mom’s cooking?
So my mom constantly tries to push her food on me, my husband, and my kids. I physically get sick just looking at her food. My husband has tried it before and says the taste isn’t great. When it comes to my kids they will eat it… but I genuinely just don’t want them to.
My mom stopped by yesterday and dropped off two containers of spaghetti and told me it’s for the kids this Mother’s Day so I don’t have to worry about cooking. I gave them back to her and told her we wouldn’t eat them and she should give them to someone who would. She told me I’m very rude and ungrateful.
I told her I’m not trying to be ungrateful but I genuinely don’t want all that food to go to waste and I’m just being honest. I said I grew up watching her cook and anytime I even think of taking a bite I picture her licking the whole spoon everytime she has a chance. I picture her picking the food up and slurping it off her fingers. Sticking dirty fingers in the food. She also has 2 cats she lets crawl around on the counter or over the food while she’s cooking. It’s just unappetizing. AMITA for telling her the truth? I wasn’t trying to be mean but I don’t like her go ong me all this food just for it to be wasted.
