AITA for being mad that my BF isn't rushing me or his mom through dinner when we visit his family.

I (F24) have been dating my bf (M26) for about a year. We live together and everything is great, so I get along pretty well with his family. The issue is his mom. She's kind of a diva. She's a decent enough cook, but she has a tendency to make everyone wait a long time for their food, then only eat salad while everyone else waits for the main course. It's also kind of a weird salad. She always makes us eat this one thing she calls "appetizers" which are basically just bread with a dip. She eats her salad alone at the table, then stays there until everyone else has eaten their main course, and she finally brings hers out.<br><br>I get that she's just doing her own thing, but it's kind of rude, and she expects us to respect that. I try to be polite and not make an issue, but I'm always kind of waiting for food to be ready so we can eat and get out of there. I don't expect my bf or anyone else to wait for me. The problem came up recently because my bf got mad at me for not wanting to stay longer and eat dessert with his mom. He said that I should be more patient and understanding and let his mom enjoy her own way of doing things. I get that I should try to be less rude, but I'm kind of annoyed that my bf isn't more patient too. He's always in a hurry when we visit and wants everyone to eat quickly so we can leave. He said it's different for him because his mom doesn't like rushing through dinner, but I think it's rude that I get in trouble for not being more polite while he's being a jerk by rushing everyone through dinner.<br><br>AITA?<br><br>​
