[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So one member of the family has a significant food allergy. They (and their parents) deserve to have his health concerns taken seriously. Your children deserve to be able to eat normally on vacation. But when there is a conflict, your nephew's health concerns beat you child's hotdog bun. So-- start from the position that one kitchen will be kept GF and one will not.[b] Ask your sibling which kitchen they would prefer to cook your nephew's food in. [/b] If they insist on both, then ask why, listen and explain that you need to find a safe place to prepare and store some gluten products. How does your sibling think this should be handled?

Ask what else you can do accommodate your nephew-- like using disposable kids plates, and not allowing your kids to eat gluten cookies in front of your nephew.

You are aiming for sensitive, but not insane. [/quote]

The bolded might have worked before Grandma went to the effort of de-glutening her kitchen.  Not an option any more.[/quote]
