"My contribution is teaching you how to make this, as you requested. I have no intention of paying for your guests meal nor skimping on a national tradition. This has already become more work than teaching so I think that you should find a teacher who can give you more basic instruction."
Anne is not your friend, and it’s very important you realize that. You should not be in a social group with her because she is such a manipulative individual. You’re just finding out right now firsthand that that is what she is. Don’t do any more things with her and keep away from her because she’s going to try and use you again because that’s what people like her do. She never intended from the very beginning to cook the dinner with you as “teaching her how to do it “. She always knew she wasn’t gonna do it and she just thought she could sucker you into it, it was a learning teachable moment and I hope that you learn from it because there’s many people like her and you don’t have to be paranoid or suspicious to notice the truth about people. Just be aware and say no no no no… And then stick to your decision.
Your husband and kids are right. You agreed to help her not to do and fund the entire meal. It seems you already know this, but are having a hard time accepting.This fact. and I get it. No one likes to realize that they’re being used. I wouldn’t do any of it.
You dreaded looking at the messages on your phone, right? Then stop looking on your phone. Block her. Stop reading them and stop making yourself crazy. She’s a user and that’s all there’s to it and she’s a manipulator and a liar and a cheat. She wants you for free and that’s why she has money and you don’t.
You or Redditt needs to stop putting the icons for the next tales on the screen before the current has finished. I sometimes have the sound off and read the text.
This is AI. All these words that say nothing new. Repeat Repeat Repeat Repeat. At the first mention of OP would be paying for half of the meal, you draw the line: This is YOUR dinner, at YOUR house, with only YOUR guests. The only role I have in this meal is:Teacher, YOU will be cooking this meal and I will teach you how. If you have changed your mind on this, I cannot fulfill what you want. You should call a caterer to fulfill what you want. I cannot do what you want. I will not be discussing this any further. Then leave every message on Read only for one day, then block her messages.
She asked you to TEACH her how to cook a Thanksgiving dinner, you decided to invite yourself and friends to her dinner cuz you wanted to cook in her kitchen. YTA
You miss took the story : The lady owner of luxurious house wanted to host a dinner for 12 people at her own house & wanted her friend to do all the work & pay for a dinner she was NOT invited to…. Like, Hell no! That is straight up Catering services,which the hostess would be responsible for paying for; ie: the food, the prep & cooking, serving & cleaning! All that work is NOT free labor, ect……
@tonigegar4164 did you listen that Anne asked her to teach how to cook, the lady was in awe of her house n kitchen n decided that she should bring her dinner to Anne n make it one big dinner. All she had to do was keep original deal, teach her n do her own Thanksgiving like she ended up doing without all the drama!
I think YOU'RE TA for your horrific reading comprehension (or in this case, listening comprehension) skills. By any chance, would you happen to be neurodivergent?
Omg, quit playing nice widdle girl and tell them losers "NO"! It may be difficult at first, especially if you're used to being a doormat, but practice it everyday! No! No! NOOOO.
Why can't people just treat ridiculous suggestions with the scorn they deserve? Look her in the eye and laugh and laugh. As you walk away.
Transition from friendship to servitude. Dump her.
OP she knew damn well she's using you and thinks your stupid enough to be thankful for it.
Anne sounds cheap, entitled, and insulting, let her hire somebody to do it
Nothing worse than a cheapskate. Also, no good deed goes unpunished. 😅
Her suggestion is called Catering! And catering comes with a price!!
Yes , shes going to host the thanksgiving dinner but wants her friend to pay for half of the groceries. What a cheap skate
"My contribution is teaching you how to make this, as you requested. I have no intention of paying for your guests meal nor skimping on a national tradition. This has already become more work than teaching so I think that you should find a teacher who can give you more basic instruction."
At that point she just wants a chef and not pay for it
Anne is not your friend...ghost her.
Disliked for repeating the same crap multiple times just to extend the video
Longwinded

Just bow out. It has become too much trouble and expense.
No way I would have dragged this fiasco out.. say NO IM DONE.. and block her.. quit being a doormat to people who just want to use you
She basically wanted the OP to be a caterer while not only doing it for free but pay for half. Dats crazy talk.
I'm actually surprised she offered Any $$$ at all!! She is cheap & treated her like the hired help!! Dump her.🚩🚩🚩
At first I thought OP needed to learn about FriendsGiving but then the rest of the story happened. 😂
This became boring and repetetive
She wants a caterer. She wants to act like she has endless resources, and maintain her financial aesthetics.
she wants a FREE caterer with everything free, not just effort. How horrible.
OP should have been more alert to the likelihood that Anne is a Qaren. OP's awe seeing the rich household blinded her to Anne as a person.
All one has to say is this is just not going to work out and bow out.

This year I won't have money for thanksgiving.dinner I have no where to go I have heard anything from family in years.
Anne got her money off the backs of others.

19:15 DARVO!!!
You did say she was Chinese, didn't you? And, AI sounds to be from a local location.
This is AI. All these words that say nothing new. Repeat Repeat Repeat Repeat.
