My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost 6 years. He is very busy, and I oftentimes cook for him and make him meals to put in the freezer so he can eat something homemade as opposed to fast food when he gets home late or has a lot of work to do. These are typically foods that are healthy (vegetable soups, curries, vegetable chili, etc). Sometimes, I will make something unhealthy if we have food about to spoil that needs to be used up (for example, mac and cheese to use up milk and cheese). This is a very small portion of the meals, as they are mostly healthy with lots of vegetables. One time, his parents visited and saw all of the portioned meals in the freezer. His mom turned to me and told me that I was killing him by making him fat (my boyfriend has been overweight ever since before I knew him). I explained that these were healthy foods that I made and put into portion control sizes for him so he has an alternative to fast food. She again repeated that I was killing him by cooking for him. She was not joking or kidding around. This upset me a great amount because I spend a lot of time and money preparing these foods for him. I feel like her comment was completely out of line. Both her and my boyfriend fail to see why I am upset by this comment. Am I overreacting by being upset? How do I handle this situation? Thank you
TLDR: My boyfriend's mom told me that I am making him fat and killing him by cooking (healthy) meals for him. I am upset, but my boyfriend and his mom don't understand why. What can I do to let them see my point of view?
