last night my husband's grandmother in New York sent us chocolates (a well-known brand). My husband and I received the box with our name on it. it consists of 11 packs with 3 pieces inside the packs. only the two of us will share since the baby would not be able to eat chocolates.
Meanwhile, his mother, brother and father (my husband's) received one box also same as ours. but then the father got 5 packs plus he ate 1 pack already and shared with the beggar outside our house so his wife got 4 packs and 1 for the kid.
because of this, she was very mad. she's been diabetic but i do not know why is she fond of chocolates. she used to hide chocolate from us if someone sent us 1 pack and needs to be shared by everyone. she'll hide it for years until you forget you have a share. i did not give her any of ours. lol! she's been hiding our other chocolates from us. plus knowing she's diabetic, she really want to stock chocolates in her closet.
is that normal for her to act like that? i mean until the moment she went to work, she's still murmuring about it. she's only 40 and i don't think it's because of her age. what do you think?

People crave what they cannot have. She is acting childish but if she is eating what she shouldn't be and her sugars are off then that can affect her thinking and more so her emotions. I have lived through this my whole life the childish behaviour is often a sign of high sugars.

well she haven't ate one when she got mad with hid husband. well i think she's just jealous that she cannot eat as much as she wants that's why she still wants to have a fair share of chocolates.

I never knew she has it, anyway just had sympathy with her, being diabetic person has to do with her attitude.

That's really strange, getting so mad about chocolate. And sounds like an "if I can't eat chocolate, others shouldn't either" attitude, lol. I hava no idea why she does that.
My aunt is diabetic, too, and she likes to stock up with biscuits and sweets. I'm a bit worried because she actually eats much more swets than me, not just stocks them up.

well my mother in law loves to stock sweets. she doesn't eat much that's why it takes years before her stocks are gone. she knows it's bad for her maybe that's why she would just love to see it every time she opens her closet! lol!

i don't think it's normal. but there are people who get easily envy or jealous even though for a small reason or small things.
maybe your mother in law just don't want to feel exempted. just tell your mother in law not to eat too much of the chocolate, cause it's for her own good. my father in law has that attitude too. we(members of the family) just don't mind him. cause the more we mind him the more he can bring commotion sometimes(lol)...

She sounds insecure and envious about the situation. I think its best just to let it pass and not give a damn about it. Let her be and just hope she'd realize she was being a brat.

It is not normal to act like that. I think it is even immature to have that. Maybe she was just having her PMS which is why she is getting emotional about things? Knowing that chocolates are bad for her, why don't the family members give her something in exchange for chocolates? Maybe, give her flowers or a nice decorative stuff for her house.
