MY ENTITLED SIL KICKED ME OUT OF OUR FAMILY POTLUCK BECAUSE I COULDN'T BRING DELICACIES — KARMA TAUGHT HER A BETTER LESSON I NEVER COULD.
I've always had a rocky relationship with my SIL, Jessica. She loves to flaunt her fancy lifestyle, and it's been tough lately, especially since my husband, Mark, lost his job last year, and we've been scraping by.
So, when Jessica planned this big potluck for my FIL's retirement, I was dreading it. Mark had to work that day, picking up another odd job, so I had to go alone. I decided to make my grandma's casserole. It's always a hit, and I hoped it would be good enough.
When I arrived at Jessica's, she gave my dish a quick, snobby glance and scoffed. "Emily, this is a potluck, not a soup kitchen. Everyone else is bringing delicacies — cheeses, chocolate, seafood, and you show up with this?"
I felt my face burn with shame. "We can't afford those things, Jessica. We're doing the best we can."
"It's embarrassing, Emily. I can't serve this. You'll have to leave."
I was mortified. I grabbed my casserole and walked out, tears blurring my vision. No one else saw what happened. When Mark came home, he found me crying and comforted me, promising to call her in the morning and set things straight.
But karma worked faster. The next morning, I got a call from ⬇️
