My DIL is gluten intolerant but the kids haven’t been diagnosed with it. So, when they were at my house one weekend, I baked regular chocolate chip cookies. They each had two cookies before Rachel came to pick them up. I thought everything was fine until she saw the plate of cookies on my counter and froze. Her face went pale, and she asked, “Did you give these to the kids?” I said yes.
That night, I got a long text from her. She said she was disappointed in me for giving the kids cookies with gluten. She claimed they might have inherited her gluten intolerance but hadn’t been tested yet. She said I had “put their health at risk” and called me “irresponsible.”
