Would you be upset? Ooooor am I over reacting?

As you all know Thanksgiving is Thursdays? I called MIL to see what I could bring for dinner. She tells me that it?s all covered and I don?t need to bring anything. It?s all covered because every other person is bringing a passing dish besides us.

I wouldn?t be asking for this isn?t the first time this has happened two year ago same thing, I called to see what I could bring was told not to worry? however at during the day snide comments where side during dinner on how we didn?t bring a dish.

Should I leave it be and not bring anything or just bring something anyways, if so what should I bring?

From the sounds of it, there is turkey, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, green beans, rolls, cucumber salad, endless pies. I had offered cheesy potatoes or sweet potatoes and MIL said ooh I just picked up potatoes at the store they were on sale.

  • You should bring dessert, you can't go wrong with that!

  • I would be annoyed too and I'd just bring something to keep the jerky comments away.

  • Why don't you bring dessert but something other than pie, like cookies.
  • Can you bring stuffing? It doesn't sound like anyone is bringing stuffing.
  • Since it's already happened once before, I would bring something.  How about some veggies, everyone likes that to snack on.

  • I agree with everyone else just bring something, anything in order to shut her up.  Good luck!

  • I would be bothered especially since they gave you a hard time about not bringing anything last time.  I would either bring a veggie or cracker tray for before dinner or maybe some wine if your family drinks.

  • I think since comments were made last time about who brought what then yes you have every right to be upset. I agree with the other ladies bring  a dessert but something other then a pie.. my next favorite is brownies... Or bring something to snack on before hand, like veggies or even cheese and crackers!

  • I'm not sure if I'd be upset but I'd bring something.  Maybe not a direct dish for dinner-  maybe a few bottles of wine/champagne or an appetizer or a non-pie dessert.

    GL!

  • This has happened to me a few times with my MIL as well.  So now I don't even ask what I can bring, and just bring something.  I don't even think she's trying to be mean about it or trying to make me look bad, but the first time or two it happened, I felt like a real jerk because I didn't make anything.

  • I would be annoyed for sure.  I would bring an appetizer or a dessert.  That way they can't make comments.  And me, being a b!tch, would also make a comment so other people can hear like "I know every year you tell me not to bring anything, but I brought this ___".  That way people know she told you not to do anything.
