I learned this lesson at about 20 when one of my friends put an emotional argument to me, I had the perfect put-down, but instead of a round of applause or whatever I was expecting I made everyone annoyed at me. I still feel bad about it, being right and sounding cool doesn’t negate hurting someone’s feelings.

This took me embarrassingly long to internalize. Even now I sometimes still get caught up in the urge, but I at least have enough sense now to realize I’m getting too fired up and however good it might feel to own someone with logic and reason, I will be grateful to myself later for smiling and nodding and/or taking ten minutes to chill and regroup.

[@juice17776]

Well only because the wife for some reason said “my house, my rules” mentioning that the MIL didn’t pay a penny towards the house. What a weird reason for her to not have a key.

[@dqgry5131]

NL the law does not usually work like you were suggesting. In fact, it is extremely common for contracts to be nullified due to hiding something in fine print or other duplicitous means and any "ridiculous" terms in an EULA would not hold up in court. A court would also almost certainly look at the totality of the evidence in regards to determining ownership rather than just saying "one names on the title, my hands are tied". This obviously varies by jurisdiction but holds generally true for NA.

[@connortivoli3161]

It's so weird that couples, especially couples that have been together long term, even have to worry about "plus 1s" or the stipulations therein. My significant other and I operate as one cohesive unit when we go out, wherever I am invited she too is invited and vise verse. Case closed, no arguments necessary. Also, if your mother in law is trusted and everyone is gravy with each other, mother in law having a house key is not only acceptable, but necessary especially if you have kids. Many times we've been thankful that our mothers had keys, like if we both got stuck at work and the kids needed someone there after school. It's a blessing lol

[@chatnoir9038]

It's really odd to call coupled people "plus ones". But I kinda understand why some people don't want (actual) plus ones at wedding generally... some people will only invite couples and then single friends without plus ones, so that there wouldn't be a bunch of randos at your wedding, especially if a bunch of your friends are single and there would be like 7-10 plus ones consisting of tinder dates and some friends of your friends you've never met. If I ever got married, I would do a small wedding and I would allow plus ones only for those straggler friends that aren't part of my larger friend group. I wouldn't want them to feel lonely. But that's just my opinion

If someone has dietary requirements, fine. If someone just has a 6-year old's pallet and all they'll eat is chicken nuggies and spaghetti, sorry, this is adult time.

[@noThankyou-g5c]

I gotta admit it’s kind of insane the lengths people will go to make you eat something you don’t want to. I used to be a picky kid (im autistic lol) and so many adults would try to “teach me a lesson” about not liking certain foods. The worst case was getting punched in the stomach 5 times a row at 11 years old because I didn’t want to eat the fat on some steak. Obviously it wasn’t all that bad but I had plenty of grown adults express how much they didn’t like me as a person because I didn’t want to eat something that would make me throw up. The only adult in my life that didn’t push it to an insane degree was my mom since she actually saw me throw up multiple times. As an adult now I eat a lot more foods I used to and I feel like in general more people are aware that not everybody’s body is identical and people have basic rights to autonomy. but every now and then I still run into people that feel entitled enough to police over what another adult decides to eat. As far as I can tell it always amounts to a very childish primal sense of disgust/dislike. People just don’t like that somebody hates something they like and it drives them to do insane things. Wether or not you think picky eaters are annoying or whatever, every story of somebody getting heated over a picky eater just reads like that tweet about the dad that made their daughter open a can of beans before they could eat. An insane double down on something completely arbitrary that the person rationalized into some kind of moral/ethical lesson.

Then she can pick and choose from the rest of the meal, nobody's going to be offended if she only takes a couple things from everybody else's cooking. If this was a "my wife only eats dino nuggies" situation it would be framed that way, so I don't think that's the issue. She just isn't into turkey or whatever.

To avoid the conflict would be for mil to ask wife beforehand how she wants her food to be prepared or for wife to tell mil beforehand that because wife is a picky eater she would like her food be prepared differently, or maybe to help at the kitchen to prepare food? Like, allergies or not, if you cannot eat certain foods it's better to either bring it with you or to ask person preparing food for accommodation. It's better than just starve at the dinner table. And the mil should already know that her food is good based on that everyone else eats it without problems. Maybe it would be better for husband to talk it first with his mother. To mediate.

NL is lucky that he didn't experience the ck2 political games of family gatherings that often happen at least here. People throwing shade through fake generosity, one upping each other, it's silly but some people take it like its GoT.

For the Thanksgiving wife, she might not even be a picky eater. Coming from a US household in the south, people try their hardest to really fuck up the classics.

Some families it about sharing the meal prepared and eating it as a way of showing gratitude for the work and effort put forth. As someone that cooks often I would just make separate alternatives. I don’t think he is the ass hole his mom is because she won’t make something she would like to eat.

What I've learned from this comment section is that Americans are insane about thanksgiving.

[@Death101344]

Canadians talking about an American holiday they have latched onto should not be allowed.

[@TheInfectous]

bro do you think canadians just spawned into existence at the advent of modern technology? just because you don't know about the origins doesn't mean they don't exist.

[@SigmaticSkippy]

It’s rude to refuse to eat food the host prepared just because you’re picky. At least put some shit on a plate and pretend to eat some of it. Have a couple rolls and get nuggets on the way home. It’s psycho behavior to bring your own food to thanksgiving.

I feel like a lot of NL's more controversial takes really just come down to a cultural difference.

[@Silas_MN]

was there a specific example in this episode that you feel can be contributed to that?

[@Nowolf]

@@Silas_MN the idea that bringing your own, personal, only-for-me food to a family gathering centered around sharing a meal not only isn't rude, but that he can't even understand how it could possibly be rude. which is really weird, since when he was talking about a guy and girlfriend going to a restaurant and the guy not ordering, he had a lot to say about the cultural implications and impact of sharing meals.

[@FreelyFooled]

Not with NL on the first post. I think the husband has communication issues, but for a person to work hard on a meal, and then you showing up with your own food to avoid what they made is an insult and is pretty rude. Obviously the vegan thing NL had is an exception, but in the vein of being an adult, you seriously can't stomach a meal you don't like for one night, or find at least something you do? Being a picky eater as an adult is also just kind of embarrassing, but that's neither here nor there.

If she doesn't eat the food they have at thanksgiving, she isn't a picky eater, she's just childish. Thanksgiving is supposed to be good food that's easy to cook.

Dude there's no universal "good food". If you don't like something you don't like it, and if you're a picky eater you often don't like damn near anything. And I'm speaking as a picky eater. Just about the only traditional thing i like to eat for Thanksgiving is the turkey and pie.

@@skorpiongod cool so you've got half of Thanksgiving dinner on your plate already. Thanksgiving in America has some of the most traditionally inoffensive foods on the planet. If you can't eat those things you are childish, not simply a picky eater. Yes its picky eating, but it's childish nonetheless.
