[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can’t-even-have-a-cooler-mom, I’m dying. Thank you. My mom would be the perfect judging neighbor for your mom. When we visit we aren’t allowed to order pizza for delivery because “the neighbors might see.” And then they might think that my mom can’t cook and that we like food and that we are lazy, all at once!

We are sometimes allowed to keep a cooler in the garage but often we have to decant our cooler items into her non l-functioning vintage cooler because it matches her garage color scheme. My DD is mixed-race and has inherited lactose intolerance. My mom makes baked goods that supposedly don’t have milk. No one here will be surprised to hear “but it’s skim milk, it’s not milk so it’s ok!”[/quote]

PP quoted: can't-even-have-cooler here! Now YOUR story made me truly laugh-cry. No kidding, I'm relaxing in bed and wiping tears from my eyes. Thank you. Had to decant! Into the non functioning vintage cooler!

And, the garage! Brilliant! Doing this today...although, there are rules about the garage. Overhead garage light must NOT be left on one second longer than is needed. If my mom sees that I'm in the garage, she will turn out the light as she "reminds" me to come inside ASAP. And, the garage door may NEVER be left open, ever. So, we would have to access the garage from inside the house only. Cooler in garage!

So frustrating that our own family members can't understand allergies or intolerances. My mom's favorite, new, passive aggressive compliment is, "she's a lovely houseguest! She eats everything! No allergies! No crazy diets! Just amazing!" (Uh, so sorry mom that DC has that damn anaphylactic allergy and that stupid EpiPen. I apologize that my kid is for ruining your Christmas by being an entitled and demanding jerk. The nerve to demand an ingredient list. Who does he think he is?)[/quote]
