It’s a real challenge to be part of a family at any time. You have to put your own needs aside and deal with other people who might have different values than you and might not even agree with you, but you have no other choice. It feels even more complicated if you are a lone wolf and that’s because it’s even harder to adjust yourself to some values and ideals that are totally against what you believe in. This woman had to face a similar situation. She is married to her husband who also has an annoying sister known for making some amazing cupcakes. Not wanting to fight, the woman decided to just keep her mouth shut and continue with her hobbies while the in-laws think she is somewhat not good enough. But at one point, this was just too much for her, so she decided to trick them into tasting some of her cupcakes and at least accept that she actually knows what she is doing.
