More or less, OP is wondering if she was wrong or if the goddaughter was at fault.

As she states, OP's mother-in-law bought the tubs of ice cream after asking OP what she was craving while pregnant. OP ate out of the tub, assuming no one else wanted any of the ice cream. It wasn't until after the goddaughter saw her do it that it became a problem and escalated to the point where she was brought to tears.

At this point, it was time to weigh in on the story.

Many users believed that OP was being unsanitary by eating directly out of the tub and not considering that others may have wanted some of the ice cream.

But as people asked more questions, OP gave more information.

In the thread, OP answered a lot of questions, including how big the tub of ice cream was.

OP was asked a ton of questions, including how big the tubs were. She clarified that they were only about a pint large rather than a gallon or anything like that. She also added that there were multiple tubs in the freezer, and the goddaughter could've easily had one.

With the new information, many users began changing their opinion on the situation.

As it turns out, OP may not have been as guilty as she first seemed.

A user broke down OP's additional information, showing that she was actually a lot less to blame in the situation.
