Every Sunday, our family dinner in my cozy suburban home turns into a competition I never signed up for. My mother-in-law somehow finds a way to make everything a contest—whether it’s whose mashed potatoes are fluffier or who gets the most praise from my husband. It’s like I’m stuck in a never-ending episode of a cooking show, but the prize is just her approval! Last weekend, she loudly compared my lasagna to hers in front of everyone. I tried to laugh it off, but deep down, it really hurt. I just want to enjoy a peaceful meal with my family, not feel like I’m being judged at every turn. Does anyone else feel like their in-laws see them as competition instead of family? Please tell me I’m not alone in this wild family game.
