My wife is an amazing cook. Her food is the favorite of everyone in our circle of people. She has been especially popular with my three niblings ages 9, 8 and 6. I believe a big reason for this is my sister hates cooking and puts no effort into it. From a young age she has been vocal about her distain for cooking and how there are a million better things she could do with her time. She never cared if others were better than her before but she has developed this intense jealousy of my wife because my niblings enjoy my wife’s cooking so much. They are always so excited when the family is around our house for dinner. Sometimes they will even stop by at lunch time and my wife will gladly feed them something.
My sister is the one bringing them to our house. But the last few weeks she has been showing how jealous she is, making snide comments and generally being ungrateful for the fact my wife is feeding the kids semi-regularly.
Yesterday they stopped by again and the kids asked if they could get some dinner with us. My wife was like sure and my sister said she must be so petty trying to show her up and not caring that they love her food more than their own mom’s food. I told my sister my wife was doing nothing wrong and she could always stay home if she wanted to feed her own kids. She said it’s the fact they show so much appreciation and love for my wife’s food and they never have anything good to say about hers. I told her she should take more of an interest in cooking and she might get more complements. From there my sister got more bitter about it and said my wife had some nerve. I told her she could just stop coming over if she’s so jealous about my wife’s cooking that she can’t be more respectful of her in our home.
My sister asked if I was kicking her out and I asked if she was going to be respectful. She called me a dick and left with the kids saying she’d make them something at home. Last night she sent a text saying I was out of line and should be more understanding.
AITA?
