'No ring, no wife duties': Mom Bans Son’s Girlfriend After She Treats Family Dinners Like Her Personal Restaurant, Offering No Help

Meeting your partner's parents for the first time is a total nerve-wracker. Do you bring a gift, dress like you're attending a royal tea, or just go casual? What's safe to talk about, and what will get you side-eyed from across the table? The pressure to make a perfect first impression is real, and usually, you're flying blind, trying to navigate their family vibe with your anxiety kept under wraps. But once you've crossed that hurdle (assuming everything goes alright), it's supposed to be smooth sailing from there. Unless you're this girlfriend. After the first meet-and-greet, which his family took as a very formal gathering, she started treating family dinners like her personal restaurant, complete with special requests, no thank-yous, and zero help afterward. While Mom and the family politely suggested she pitch in, she brushed it off with a shrug and a "No ring, no wife duties." Now, Mom's left wondering if she should lay down the law or let it slide to keep the peace.
