NTA for not wanting to deal with your SIL’s unreasonable demands anymore. Like, I have dietary restrictions and would never demand accommodation like this let alone send the host a menu just for me. FFS she sounds exhausting. However, hosting large Thanksgiving & Christmas dinners this year is pretty assholish. People acting like they can’t give up one holiday season in order to prevent the spread of a goddamn pandemic just baffles me. ♀️
