Refusing to eat sister’s food due to unhygienic cooking. AITA?
A sibling’s unhygienic cooking habits lead to a disgusting dinner experience. Despite making excuses to avoid eating her sister’s food before, OP was invited to dinner to celebrate her brother-in-law’s promotion. During the dinner, OP observed her sister’s unhygienic cooking habits, including keeping her hair down, not washing her hands, and letting her dogs in the kitchen; this led to OP refusing to eat the dinner. When asked why she wasn’t eating, OP calmly told her sister the truth about her unhygienic cooking habits. This caused her sister to cry and accuse her of being insensitive and jealous. However, OP remained firm in her decision not to eat her sister’s food, despite her sister and brother-in-law calling her an a**hole. Was OP right to be honest about her sister’s unhygienic cooking habits or was she in the wrong?
