Health, Food and Weddings: The best day of your life

The best day of your life

Today, my mom told me she is serving lasagna and Italian cream cake at my bridal shower. I'm severely lactose intolerant, which I have been telling her for years. She responded by telling me, and I quote, "The food is for the guests." FML

Today, I'm getting married. A few months ago, I allowed my mother in-law to take care of catering. She begged to be a part of the wedding, so I gave her the caterer's number and order info. It appears that I will not be eating at my own wedding because she decided to order food I'm allergic to. FML

Today, I told my mom that I think I'm lactose intolerant, and that I should go to the doctor to get checked out. She said that I was probably just gassy, and then ordered us a pizza for dinner. FML

Today, my parents brought me an ice cream birthday cake. I would think after 23 years they would remember my lactose intolerance. FML

Today, my mother in-law made dessert. It was a beautiful chocolate cake, chocolate cookies, and every other thing had chocolate in it. I'm deathly allergic to chocolate and she knows this. FML

Today, I turned 18. My parents remembered that I loved German chocolate cake, so I awoke to a hot, fudge-filled chocolate cake with a slice cut out just for me. I've been lactose-intolerant for 8 years. As I cried, my mom handed me tissues, while eating the "Happy" part of my cake. FML

Today, I was reprimanded by my mom and her current man over my opinions on one of their church social friend's "homemade" lasagna. I didn't say anything, just took one bite, and ate no more. How politely do you say that you know full well she shoved Stouffer's frozen lasagna into the oven? I recognized it from just the smell! FML

Today, my mom claimed that lactose intolerance is a "myth" and told me to drink my damn milk because it's good for my bones. FML

Today, I've been staying with my parents while I have time off from school. They got drunk and started an entire family fight because my dad made pizza and my mom is lactose intolerant. She insists my dad did it on purpose because, "he's an asshole and knows I can't eat cheese." FML

Today, I cooked for the future in-laws and was accused of trying to poison them. Absolutely no one told me, even as they watched me cook shrimp and smoked sausage gumbo, that my mother-in-law is deathly allergic to shellfish and my father-in-law gets severe diarrhoea when he eats pork. FML

Today, I found out my boyfriend's mother has invented a new kind of cake and named it after me: not because it's delicious, but because of the amount of fat in it. FML

I'm really curious to know if you're Italian, or if your bridal shower has a theme. Also, tell your mom to serve food you can eat, or you'll get someone else to prepare the meal. And make sure you hire a catering company for the actual wedding. Don't need mommy dearest poisoning you on your big day.

The proper response here should've been: "These invitations are also for the guests. Your no longer one of them."

My question is this, is the ONLY thing being served at your bridal Shower Lasagna and Italian cream cake or is she serving those in addition to there being other thing? I ask because if there are other things than the phrase "the food is for the guests" could basically be translated to "There is no reason not to serve it just because you can't eat it as well" which is true. It may be your shower but the hope is that your guests will also enjoy themselves and lactose intolerant is not the same as an air born allergy, it will in no way effect you for other people to eat those things. However, if they are the only things being served than not only is your mother being a jerk to you but that's going to be one sad Bridal Shower spread for everyone so your life sucks in many ways.

As an RN it is impossible to have a false positive pregnancy test...however you can have a false negative. Looks as though you are in fact engaging in sex.

Ask your guests to each bring a small dish of something, then you can still have something to eat! Plus it'll probably piss off your mother 😂

She's not wrong, you know. I am very picky. If I held a party, does everyone deserve to only eat super plain foods? No, they don't. They deserve to eat whatever normal people eat, and I can have my own food, because I am an adult who can figure this out. You can too.
