AITA for not accommodating my sister-in-law for Christmas before her gastric bypass surgery?
For context:
My sister in law just told us 15 days before Christmas that she is going to be getting gastric bypass surgery. I’m happy for her-she is taking a huge step in her health journey and managing chronic conditions.
This year I am hosting Christmas. My husband and I have 2 young children and this makes it easier for us. Sister and brother in law have no children. I had already bought the prime rib before knowing she was going to be on a liquid diet the week of Christmas.
My mother in law called my husband explaining how hard it’s been on Sister in law. Stating that SIL will just have to sit in the living room while everyone else eats. Mother in law feels bad and thinks we should eat before she comes over so she won’t feel left out. Personally, I think SIL is being a grinch and should stop wallowing in her own self pity. AITA if we still do the dinner and she decides to sit in the living room?
Edit:
I have NOT talked directly to my SIL. My MIL is the one who said that she would sit alone if we sat down for a meal and my MIL would go sit in the living room with her so she doesn’t feel alone.
My MIL suggested we could eat before they arrive and pack a to go container for BIL who has to work that night.
Edit
SIL told MIL she will be sitting in the living room if we sit down for dinner.
I will call SIL directly tomorrow to get her side of how she wants the holiday to look.
