AIO I got presents I didn't like so I just thanked them and moved on with my day
My MIL who I adore knows that I really don't like pink. She got me a set of pink towels. I thanked her and moved on with my day like an adult. Later she asked me for tea so I made her tea but used slightly less then the normal amount of honey then I know she likes because the bear was running low and I didn't want to stand there all day renewing the honey to give her enough. She made a passive-aggressive comment. Am I overreacting by telling my husband that he should cut off the entire family, never speak to them again, change our names and live on a boat?
