Your relationship with your in-laws is one of the most important but trickiest to handle. If you're lucky, you get a set of in-laws who treat you like their own child, who respect your boundaries and are all-around decent human beings. Unfortunately, not everyone is blessed with such perfect in-laws, and if you have a particularly bad set, they can make your life pretty miserable. These people share the worst gifts they've received from their in-laws, and I won't lie; they are bad. The passive-aggression behind the thoughtless gestures are enough to give anyone the message that their in-laws hate their guts. In-laws: the gifts that keep on giving.

Everyone dreams of marrying someone with the perfect parents, but unfortunately, most sets of in-laws come with their flaws. Whether they're over-involved, overstep your boundaries, or just overall toxic people, navigating the relationships with your in-laws can be highly complicated. They say you don't just marry a person; you marry their family as well, and so it's important to try and maintain as good a relationship with your in-laws as possible. Unfortunately, some don't make this an easy task. One woman posted on Reddit's Am I The A—hole asking what to do about her in-laws, who refused to compromise on eating healthier meals whenever she and her husband visited. She explained how all her in-law's food choices were extremely unhealthy, and when the OP tried making healthier alternatives, they complained and found her cooking equally as disgusting as she found theirs.

In this Ask Polly letter, a woman suspects her in-laws are trying to deliberately poison/kill her and we're seriously disturbed after reading her entire letter. The advice columnist, Heather Havrilesky, was just as disturbed and shared it on her Twitter account.
Even IF the in-laws believed she wasn't as allergic to mushrooms as the woman claims to be, it's still pretty disgusting behavior to constant parade the food in front of her!
