[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a different take on it. It seems as though they picked the cabin because the new baby rather than the celiac issue. They may not want to disturb everyone with the night waking, crying and ability to have a quiet place for the baby to sleep.

Also did they demand everything be gf? Or is the grandma making that decision.[/b] My DS was diagnosed with celiac at 9 months. We thought it was cystic fibrosis or something much more severe. We don't keep a gf house or travel with dishes or anything like that. It was hard when he was 2 but not unmanageable. Is he newly diagnosed? They just may be nervous. I would just talk to your SIL and see what is up. [/quote]

I think this is key. My grandmother and also my m-i-l are, from a personality standpoint, are generally anxious and over accommodating. They would latch on to the gluten free thing and run with it, even beyond reason, just to be "helpful" and busy. It's sweet, but it can also make things so much more complicated and fraught than they really need to be. Best to cut out the middle man. Your DH needs to man up and call his brother, he's a big boy.[/quote]
