Her Friend Is Upset With Her For Not Accommodating Her Daughter’s Many Food Allergies On Their Vacation
This 31-year-old woman is about to go on vacation with her 30-year-old husband and a couple of their closest friends.
She was the one who planned the whole thing, and she has a group chat going with all of her friends to fill them in on the details.
She and her husband are bringing along their 5-year-old son Alex, and their friends are bringing their children too, since it’s a family-friendly event.
She has a 29-year-old friend named Emily, and Emily’s daughter Ava is the same age as Alex. Ava and Alex are quite close, and sadly, Ava suffers from a slew of food allergies.
“To save money when going away, we will be cooking for ourselves most days in our apartment,” she explained.
“I agreed to shop for food staples for the trip, and I created a list, and everyone added things to create a final list.”
“Emily messaged to say Ava can’t eat most of the food on the list and sent me an edited version swapping out ingredients for things Ava can eat.”
The problem is that all of the substitutions Emily made are extremely expensive, and some of their friends chimed in on the group chat that their children would not eat the majority of the foods Emily put on the list.
Her friends insisted that they want to stay with the original food list they made, even if Ava can’t eat off of it.

She decided to say to Emily that it wasn’t affordable for them to pick her food list and that she could just get different foods for Ava, but she would be sure that they would adjust divvying up their food bill accordingly.
That way, Emily would not be stuck paying for any food that Ava simply could not eat on their vacation.
“She argued that Ava will feel left out on the trip as she has to eat something else separately, especially seeing Alex eat what everyone else does, and Ava can’t eat that,” she continued.
“Normally, when we meet up, we do all eat the same food as Ava, which is fine as that is one meal once every 1/2 weeks, but we are going away for 10 days, and I don’t think I can eat that food every day.”
She’s left wondering if it’s wrong of her to not be more accommodating of Ava’s allergies on their trip.
