Family trips are great. Well, until they’re not! Personality clashes, planning disputes, lack of personal space and alone time, unresolved issues of the past deciding to come to light, whatever.
This Redditor, for example, has managed to catch some flack from her sister-in-law for eating early and skipping family dinner on their first day of vacation; in fact, she didn’t stop there and also told her about not preparing breakfast for the entire next day.

“Did I eat early?– this internet user went to one of the most judgmental communities of Reddit, asking his members if she is really a jerk for not waiting for the arrival of her husband’s family to have dinner. The post managed to accumulate over 14k upvotes as well as 2.7 k comments discussing the situation.
Do you know that according to Terri Apter – a psychologist, former senior teacher at University College, and author of What Do You Want From Me? Learn How To Deal With Scammers – three out of four couples “experience significant conflict with their in-laws”?
Now, it’s not great news that relationships are challenging!
It doesn’t matter if it’s your partner, family, friends or colleagues – each person has their own story that somehow contributes to what kind of connection you would be able to build with them.
A mismatch between characters, good old Faith issues, emotional baggage, inalienable interests, fear of vulnerability, different stages of life – there are a million and one reasons that could potentially explain the difficulty in establishing a connection.
The good thing, though, is that no one will force you to be familiar with people you don’t click with, and you can easily end that relationship as soon as you want; however, those rules, most of the time, don’t seem to apply to your significant other’s family.
Most likely, many of you or have encountered some excruciating pain monster-in-lapora horror stories in the vastness of the web or were even a part of a self; unfortunately, you can’t program people to accept you, let alone love you, simply to join their family member.
These things take time, and although you are not responsible for their feelings, you should still try to do your part. But! If you chew just to listen to your body and spend an early night, is it really worth trying anymore?

As with any R / AmItheA**hole tale, you should take it with a little salt, as I do not know if you have been given a full report on how the events went-however, here is what happened U /1:
The couple, their son and the man’s family planned a trip together. They arrived early, and everything was going well until OP’s husband suggested that she wait until his family’s appearance to have dinner – but since it was a long day and the woman was tired from the trip, she went against his wishes, ate and headed to bed early with their child.
Fast forward to the next morning; the author of the Post woke up renewed, ready to enjoy the apparently long-awaited vacay when suddenly her sister-in-law approached and began chopping her to pieces to eat early and not give the rest of the fam the chance to see her and her son.
Of course, OP tried to explain to her that she was tired – however, the woman did not want to listen and even noted that if she had forced herself to stay awake, she would have complied with everyone’s schedules, but since she did not do so, she will probably pull the same trick again.
U /1her sister-in-law then continued her rant and blasted her for not preparing breakfast for everyone as she was the first to wake up, which really adds to the whole “monster-in-laanair”theme.
After the conversation, the rest of the relatives seemed to be quite “stuck”, so the woman decided to take it online and look for some unbiased opinions.
So, what’s your decision?
