    My friend in college ended her engagement after she met her future in laws. She told us he wasn't worth that battle. They had dated for almost 2 years without meeting his family. Well she met them when they got engaged. She said had she met them sooner she wouldn't have agreed to marry him. She said people like them should be sprung on someone within 3 months. That way a girl doesn't waste too much time in the relationship.

      Honestly that’s on both of them for getting engaged without seeing each other’s family. That’s something that you do with the first few months. Also if she didn’t think he was worth a family squabble when she already decided she was going to marry him then that relationship wasn’t going to last long regardless.

      I'm greatful for my husband tolerating my family. One brother (eldest) is high-functioning special needs, my sis is distant but respectful, my other brother (the younger of the two) bleeds money and can't seem to figure out why (doesnt know self-control for purchases). My Dad (dropped the "step" since he's my only dad) is funny but can have a short temper. They are all your average range of family members that genually love and care for each other. I have different trusts amd care for each of them, so they aren't the problem. I call my dad and talk to my eldest brother on occasion and text my sis randomly. My mother, however...
      My mother is a manipulative shrew and enjoys guilt-tripping people to get her way. She used money as an excuse not to care for my pets when they were in her "care," all while stealing money from me for her own needs (money that was supposed to be for my cats). It is worth noting that one had all its health needs pre-paid monthly, but she never even made an appointment with said cat's vet. The other cat was elderly with pre-existing health conditions, so I could not afford putting him on the same plan.
      Anyway, he helped me with the toxic traits I mirrored of my mother and has tollerated her behavior. He is awesome!

      What I find so funny is that people think marriage has always been a thing everywhere. It hasn't. And it worked for all those people for ages, far longer than we've had marriage. And honestly? Marriage is for tax and lineage purposes. That's it. Historically, marriage has been for monetary and power purposes. Love didn't come into it at all. And many of those had partners outside of their marriage(mostly the men). The husband gained a dowry and a broodmare in many places. In other places, the wives family was compensated for their loss and the daughter was removed from their family, cut off from anyone who would be inclined to help her. Ah, yes. Marriage solves a lot.

      Thee other issue is if the mother like that raised that daughter it raises red flags. I'd guess OP started looking hard at fiancee if she condoned that behaviour. If she'd done things similar then as she aged she'd likely become like her mother. My first wife didn't really like her mother, who was a cold, manipulative middle class English woman. But my ex after 14 yrs began to act just like her mother whom she didn't like. Couldn't see it in herself. Our marriage only lasted 3 yrs past that.
      So a guy tends to see both what the mother looks like & adds 20 odd yrs to his future wife & also assesses what sort of daughter she raised. It's not a bad metric to give a thumbnail as to what you're getting into.

    THE REST OF THE POST:
    EM ends my engagement and gets me banned from a steak house all in one night
    My girlfriend and I made the trip up to their city and I met them for the first time over dinner at a steak house. It was pretty upscale, and we’d scheduled the dinner for 8:00pm, so I was surprised to see they’d brought the kid along with them.
    I met everyone at once and the initial awkwardness settled once we’d sat down. We were making great small talk when the six year old said she was thirsty.
    No big deal right? Well, all of a sudden Ellen starts screaming, “Water? Water! WATER?!” A waiter came rushing over to see what the commotion was and, without even making eye contact with the poor guy, Ellen went “We’ve been here forever and no one’s even gotten us any water. My daughter’s been asking.”
    We had been sitting for about fifteen or twenty minutes without service, but they were visibly behind, and there were no circumstances that would’ve warranted that shouting.
    I should’ve realized from how unfazed everyone else at the table was that I should be bracing myself for a long night, but I couldn’t imagine what was to come at that point.
    The waiter rushed over with water and apologized for the delay, explaining a few very large parties had arrived all at once. The guy was seemed sincere, and quite affable, so I thought the water would just be an anomaly in an otherwise pleasant night. Then Ellen kicked into full gear.
    “We’ll need a kids menu.” She informed the waiter. He said that they didn’t have a kids menu, but that the chef could simplify most dishes. “What do you mean you don’t have a kids menu?” Ellen replied in total disbelief, as though he’d said they didn’t have a fire exit.
    He explained they didn’t get too many child visitors and that there were enough plain foods on the menu that no separate menu had ever been necessary. Ellen sighed dramatically and waved him away. Literally, without saying a word, waved him off from the table.
    I tried to give him an apologetic glance but, understandably, he didn’t look back our way. I was so glad the poor guy left and didn’t have to be subjected to her anymore.
    Meanwhile she turned her attention on me, and I almost wished he’d come back. At least he was getting paid to be here. She was like, “So you’re a screenwriter?” And I explained, “Well, yes and no. I want to be, but it’s hard to get a job in that field that you can support yourself on, so I’m working at a non-profit right now. There’s a screenwriting component to the job though, so I’m really happy there.”
    Ellen turned to her six year old and went “Hear that, hun? You want to be sure to snag a man who works *for* profit. Learn from this. It’s not too late for you.” I couldn’t tell if she was trying to be funny or not. So, I just let it pass, looking over to my girlfriend to see if she was even considering speaking up on my behalf. Nope.
    The waiter came back, visibly nervous. That hurt, because he was so relaxed and personable at the start of the meal. He asked if we’d like to hear the specials before we ordered and Ellen said sure. Here’s how that went.
    Waiter: First we have a lightly seared strip stea-
    Ellen: Next!

    • @fawnoverbrawn
      @fawnoverbrawn Месяц назад

      Waiter: Oh... uh, ok. Then we have a broiled leg of grass fed-
      Ellen: Next!
      Waiter: Uh, we, uh, we have a pasta prima vera mixed with-
      Ellen: NEEEEXXXXTTTTTTUHHH
      And on and on until he’d gone through all seven or ten specials, even though she ultimately ordered off the menu, a plain ribeye, well done.
      She tried to order her daughter the same, but the kid said she just wanted plain mashed potatoes, so Ellen let her get mashed potatoes alone for dinner. Then... she sent the waiter away! The rest of us hadn’t even ordered yet! And everyone else just sat there like it was entirely normal!
      I waited for someone to say something, thinking it was more her older daughter (my girlfriend’s) place or her husband’s, but when no one did I couldn’t help myself. “I, uh, was the one steak and potatoes going to be for all of us, or?” My girlfriend explained, in the tone you’d use for a tourist violating a sacred local taboo, “My mom always has the waiter put the kid’s food in first, so it can get started right away. We’ll order once the kitchen has hers.”
      I thought she was joking, since Ellen didn’t just order her kid’s food, she also ordered her own dinner too. So I laughed. “Something funny?” Ellen asked. Then I realized she was serious, and I shut up.
      Thankfully her dad at least recognized that what was normal for them might not be as regular to me and tried to lighten the mood with a change of topic. But not even ten minutes after we’d ordered (I guess technically five minutes after *we’d* ordered, ten minutes after she and her daughter had ordered,) Ellen started in again.
      Another table, that had been there long before we were, got a side order of mashed potatoes with their meal. Ellen threw a total conniption. She was sputtering so inaudibly that none of us could figure out what was wrong at first.
      Finally she managed to flag down some bus boy who barely spoke English and began laying into him like he’d just side swiped her on the freeway. He kept trying to explain he wasn’t a server and he could go get one, but she wouldn’t stop to breath long enough for him to find someone who could actually help.
      All the while I kept looking at my girlfriend for signs of embarrassment, or at the very least irritation, but you wouldn’t have known if she was even hearing any of this.
      Our waiter came over, somehow still feigning a smile despite knowing what he was walking into, and Ellen actually goes “Why did that table get mashed potatoes and ours haven’t come yet?”
      The waiter kindly but concisely explained, “Well Ma’m, those people ordered potatoes before your party had placed their order.” Ellen looks this man dead in the eye (finally) and says “Well it doesn’t matter when they ordered it. My daughter is the youngest one here! Her food should come out first.”
      You could tell the waiter was working hard to restrain himself at this point. He explained it was a first come, first served, policy and age didn’t help one way or the other. He offered to go check on the potatoes, Ellen agreed, or more specifically she said, “Yah, you better!”, but I was clocking him and he went right back to his server station (because we had only just ordered a few minutes ago!)

    • @fawnoverbrawn
      @fawnoverbrawn Месяц назад

      Three or five more minutes passed, during which we could have no other discussion at the table except how awful this restaurant was, how hungry the poor baby was (who hadn’t said a word about being hungry this whole time and was contently playing her loud iPad game, without headphones, disturbing all the other diners around us), and how America has lost all respect for motherhood because it’s just a “me, me, me” culture now.
      I chimed in, “I’m with you on that last part.” And to my utter shock, instead of laughing at my joke, my girlfriend seemed annoyed with *me!*
      So after a few minutes the waiter comes back and says the potatoes will be out very soon. Ellen then goes and does something that, again, I thought was just a myth.
      She took three singles and a five out of her wallet and put them on the table in full view of the waiter. Then she took one single away and said “Every table I see getting potatoes before us is a bill gone.”
      I was absolutely mortified. The waiter, to his unending credit, just took a deep breath and said “I don’t have control over the order in which the kitchen fires tickets, but what I can tell you is it should be out any minute.” And left without saying anything disparaging.
      I had been holding my tongue all night as well, in the name of my relationship, but once the tip hit the table (the $8 tip for a $100+ bill, on top of all else) I figured if my girlfriend was half the woman I thought she was then she wouldn’t mind my speaking up at this point. If anything, she’d be supportive, right?
      So I scooted my chair back a bit and said, “Listen I know what you’re doing with the cash on the table, but that kind of thing makes me really uncomfortable, and it’s just not called for. Please put the money away or we can just continue this some other time.”
      My girlfriend’s dad spits back, “What? How cheap do you have to be to not believe in tipping service workers?” Before I could process whether he was serious or yanking my chain, Ellen shocked me with, “No, you know what, you’re right, this isn’t necessary.”
      I should’ve known better than to be relieved. She folded the bills back into her wallet, patiently waited for the next plate of mashed potatoes to be carried out, and when it wasn’t delivered to us, (it was a very common side dish at this place, a steak house,) she went right up to a stranger’s table and *picked it up off their table.*
      She half explained something about her daughter “starving to death,” as she was walking away with the stranger’s food, but unsurprisingly, that wasn’t convincing enough for them. The old lady she took it from followed her right over to our table and tried to take it back.
      I was already searching for my coat tag in preparation to go, but a shoving match was beginning to unfold between Ellen and an elderly woman with a tennis ball walker, and far be it from me to sit through all that had happened only to leave just as the night was getting interesting.
      The elderly woman was like “Give me back my potatoes!! Who are you??” And the poor little girl was like, “Mommy, it’s ok, don’t take someone else’s potatoes...”
      But it all fell on deaf ears. Ellen yelled at the old lady, “How could you sit there and eat these when my daughter hasn’t even been served yet? She’s sitting here hungry, just a little girl, and you’re over there stuffing your face? Come on, other potatoes will be out any minute.”
      And the old lady, got to love her, was like, “Great, if they’ll be out any minute, then what’s the fucking problem?!” To which Ellen still found holier than thou ground, gasping, “Language, please!”
      Finally the waiter, and this time someone higher up as well, I think the manager, thank God, came over to separate them, as they had begun to raise their voices and cause a disturbance.
      Staff had already asked Ellen to turn down her daughter’s iPad multiple times without heed, and I’m guessing the waiter informed management about the “tip on the table,” stunt she pulled, because this was their final straw. They told us we were going to have to leave the restaurant.
      “But we don’t even have our food yet!” Ellen complained at the guy. This was clearly not the manager’s first rodeo. “You can take the food that’s already been served free of charge, everything else will be cancelled. Please leave immediately.”
      The old lady didn’t miss her chance to knock the potatoes right onto the floor so we couldn’t try to take them with us. Nothing else had been served yet, so, we had to leave without any food.
      When my girlfriend and I were finally alone in our car she said “Can you believe that?” And I said, “Not at all. And I really can’t believe you didn’t warn me!” And she went, “How could I have known about any of that?” And, confused, I asked, “Is she not usually like that?” Even more confused than me, my girlfriend asked, “Who?” “Your Mom!” “What’s my Mom got to do with the terrible service at that place?”
      That was the beginning of the end of our relationship. The fact that she didn’t see anything wrong with her mom’s behavior, and that I’d be marrying into that situation, shook me too deep.
      We both dodged a bullet in more ways than one. In hindsight, we weren’t right for each other, regardless of who her family was. Her mom saved us both a lot of time and heartache, helping me realize in one night what would’ve probably taken us years otherwise. Within a month we’d moved into separate apartments and gone on a “break,” that ended up lasting forever.
      I’m not sorry I won’t see you again, Ellen. I am sorry any waitstaff ever will, though.

    He dodged a whole weapons shop with that family. I was a server for a long time, and when someone yells, waves, or snaps their fingers at us, that doesn't make us hurry up and wait on you. Then, having to tell you repeatedly to please turn your child's game down and you ignore the request, goes straight to the manager. If I was him, as soon as she made a dig about me, I would've stood up, and told my partner that I didn't know about them, but I was no longer hungry, and I would've left. Then her 6 year old daughter had to tell her to stop acting like that would've been embarrassing too, plus an upscale restaurant usually isn't going to have a children's menue because they don't make food that children would eat normally. Then to pull out the money and do the old tip trick I would've told her to shove it, and I've done that before too when I was a server. Then to blatantly go over to another person's table and take something from their table?! My Daddy and Momma would've been over at thier table in a heartbeat and my Daddy would've asked the husband if he couldn't control his wife ? My Momma would've taken the mashed potatoes and told her " I think these are ours since we ordered them" and if that lady reached for them my Momma had this look that froze people in their tracks and made them stop whatever they were doing, or she would've pushed that heifer back down into her seat. I would've been there having my parents back, and as soon as the manager said that they could take what they had already ordered, I would've made sure she had a mashed potatoes mask. I can't believe that the girlfriend thought that that was acceptable behavior and not only did she not defend her boyfriend and walk out, but she showed what he was to expect in the future and what type of mother she'd be. I feel sorry for both daughters with this type of parents.

      Here is just the potatoes because the chicken didn’t get finished in the video.
      Ingredients:
      4 large potatoes
      Duck fat
      Dried rosemary
      Salt and pepper
      Lemon zest
      2 cloves fresh garlic
      5 tablespoons olive oil
      Directions:
      Peel and slice the potatoes into cubes, then boil until soft. Pour duck fat over a baking sheet and place the potatoes on it. Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit until golden brown. Chop dried rosemary until in very small then mix with lemon zest, salt and pepper, squashed garlic and olive oil. Once you remove the potatoes from the oven, place into the rosemary mixture and stir to coat.
