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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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."

Can you take a lactaid to help you? Or will she be serving you surf and turf and the finest wine instead?

Do you really think that this is the easiest and best solution?

The best and easiest solution would be for the bride to order some filet mignon, caviar or whatever she likes for herself from the caterer she intends to hire for her wedding and foot the bill to Mother.

Can’t she also serve something specifically for you?

Bridezilla Alert! Does everyone have to sacrifice dairy for you? Anyways, you have to skip the lasagna and the cake to fit into your dress, and it’s good you have a disease helping you where willpower might fail.

God help the person that marries you if OP qualifies as a Bridezilla for wanting to eat at her own bridal shower.

The funny thing is: Those people are the first ones to not serve any dairy free stuff to you when they are inviting you to their party "because it's their party".

Lactaid is a beautiful thing. My family is the same way with me both regarding my fish allergy and my lactose issue.
