This is a thing lots of people with allergies/food intolerances have to deal with but I (25F) have a severe fructose intolerance.
My whole family knows about this and they have known since I was 13. Still, they constantly insist on giving me fruit related foods for every occasion (self made marmalade, fruit gummy bears, strawberry cake etc.) Never once have they taken this issue seriously, even knowing that I didn’t eat my birthday cake for years.
Right now I am on vacation with my grandparents and the issue came up again because the restaurant we were at, didn’t have any food I could eat (nearily everything had some kind of fruit based sauce or filling) and he told me to quit being a drama queen so I thought “screw it” and ordered a BIG helping of blueberry dumplings.
So, right now my granddad is sitting on his bed, pouting like a toddler because we can’t go out while my soul is leaving my body through my butt. Apparently I am an ass for not taking care of what I eat and my grandma agrees with him.
AITA here? I could have ignored his comments and ordered some pancakes and scraped the sauce off of them but his comments really irked me.
EDIT: After being made aware that I forgot to include some important information/wasn’t clear enough about the restaurant situation, I am giving some clarification here:
It was a very cheap buffet style restaurant with pre-made meals, that are kept warm/get reheated when someone orders them, so no, I couldn’t have ordered anything without sauce.
I took too long to decide what would be easiest to remove the fruits from and was called a drama queen for it.
I should have propably been clearer in my post the first time
