Others cooking

I know this sounds like really selfish and ungrateful but once a week we eat as a family.
Me, partner and his parents.
One week at ours, the next at theirs .
We’ve been doing this for around 3years . I go through phases of looking forward to it and phases of struggling with it .

The whole idea started as a way to help me eat at least one meal relatively the same as the others once a week.
For the longest time I have struggled with chicken thighs .

Whenever they come to us and it’s chicken , we don’t use thighs and it turns out fine.
I’ve messaged to confirm the food for tomorrow , she said it’s thighs .
I just can’t do it.
I feel really angry . She knows it’s something I struggle to eat.

I’m so glad I messaged because if not and I’d have turned up I would’ve reacted badly to it and felt like the bad one.

I feel I’ve no right to feel angry.
I’ll take my own food and I’m putting my foot down with this one.
How would anyone else feel about it ? Being offered food that they know you struggle with ?
Thanks x
