<p>A woman says her mother-in-law keeps gifting her family expired food — and she wants the trend to end.</p>
<p>In a post published on Reddit, the woman writes that she is four months postpartum and her mother-in-law recently paid her family a visit.</p>
<p>The woman adds that her mother-in-law is "a hoarder who buys useless trash on sale and then lets it rot in her closets and then eventually passes them off as 'gifts' to us."</p>
<p>"This time she decided to bring us three giant boxes of 'food,' " she adds. "I use quotations because all the food she gave us was 5-10 years past the expiry date. Pasta and cereal from 2015, pasta sauce that she bought on sale 6 years ago."</p>

<p>While it's happened before, the woman adds that this time, she "lost it."</p>
<p>"Normally I bite my tongue and just throw out her 'landfill treasures' as soon as she leaves, but I lost my cool and just said 'This belongs in the dump. I can't even donate this to the local food bank because it's older than my first born,' " she writes.</p>
<p>Her mother-in-law then tried to say expiration dates are just "suggestions," and has been "pouting ever since."</p>
<p>"Monday can't come fast enough," the woman writes in ending her post.</p>
<p>Many other Reddit users are commiserating, with one writing, "Oh man, you are not alone in this expired food nightmare. It's wild how some MILs treat their kids' homes like a personal landfill annex. You told her not to bring anything, she brought it anyway. That's not a misunderstanding, that's straight-up disrespect."</p>
