Dear Rich & Deena,
Hey guys! I’m wondering if I’m about to be a jerk.
We’re hosting Thanksgiving this year, and my mother-in-law has offered to bring the green bean casserole. I told her that would be great because she was insistent and she’s so proud of her recipe. She insists that her son – my husband – loves it.
Here’s the thing. This is my favorite side dish and hers is, well, not good. It’s horrible.
So, I’m planning to make one, too, and we’ll just have two green bean casseroles. That’s fine, right? But I haven’t told my husband yet, and I’m afraid it will be a big problem if I tell him, but maybe a bigger problem if I don’t.
Am I A Jerk?
