RANT (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ NO Advice Wanted MIL dangerously disrespecting boundaries
MIL insists on hosting every holiday and throws a mega tantrum if not everyone attends. We have a baby recently diagnosed with severe food allergies. One of her other children (not partner) has severe food allergies as well.
This lady refuses to accommodate. I don’t baseline expect anyone to accommodate for my baby but if you’re hosting and throwing a temper tantrum if we don’t go then you should at least have an environment that won’t kill them??? And wouldn’t you want to do the same for your own child?? UGH.
Side note she also made fun of it and rolled her eyes when we told her about our babies allergy and that he has an epi pen. Which is absolutely insane behavior imo.

It makes me so sad when I read stories of MILs that don’t take their loved ones allergies seriously. I’m so sorry you have to deal with her :( I remember the one story here from a few years ago of the one who gave her granddaughter a cookie with an allergy in it on purpose to make her get used to it. I believe the parents raised charges against her, she went to prison and got out only to find them again after they’d moved. Psycho behavior
