    Whatever I bring. Seriously, the ex gets my kids this year. Of course I’m going for them, but:

    • no alcohol
    • no soda
    • low sugar
    • no corn anything
    • very little spice of any kind
    • none of my family’s traditional foods unless I bring it

    While they’re making my favorite pumpkin pie, somehow it can’t have any spices this year. Just pumpkin. So bland but might as well be mayo

        Sure I tell them they’re weird all the time, but in this case it’s just understandable compromises adding up to wtf

        My ex’s father came to live with her. He doesn’t drink, is diabetic, and is having digestive issues. He also had a bad food experience involving corn so can’t stand the smell. My ex has banned soda to improve her health. I can be understanding of any of these, but it adds up to too much

          That does suck. The stuff with the Father I get. The soda ban I’d let slide, especially if it’s a recent change.

          But banning flavor is criminal.
