Family is supposed to give us love, support, and comfort, but sometimes the people closest to us can cause the most stress and frustration. Here are 10 stories from our readers about their tough experiences with family members.
The Story:
My mother-in-law, who always thinks she knows best, came over one day with a mystery meal plan. We didn’t know what was in it, but we ate it anyway. The next morning, on our anniversary, I woke up covered in pimples. I was horrified and screamed at myself in the mirror, realizing I looked terrible for our special day. It turned out her meal was full of cheese, even though she knew we were lactose intolerant.
Her well-meaning meal made us both sick and ruined our special day.
