AITAH for refusing to visit my mom for seafood soup?
For Good Friday, my mom always cooks a large meal consisting of mainly seafood. Today, she texted me saying that if she should make seafood soup rather than a large meal of different foods. Now, I don't want her to have to cook too much if she doesn't want to, I get it, but I'm heavily pregnant (third trimester) and I don't want to drive an hour to another state just to eat seafood soup when I can literally stay home! I'm fine with her just making rice and pigeon peas (which is what she traditionally makes) with any fish or shrimp. I can also offer to make the salad and a baked dish but I really DO NOT want to drive so far, withstanding car sickness, round ligament pain and back pain just for seafood soup! Not to mention, that she lives in NYC, where parking and traffic sucks and I'd probably have to walk a block or more from my car to her house.
AITAH for not wanting to visit her just because she wants to make seafood soup?
Also, how do I tell her nicely that I don't want to drive so far for seafood soup?
