So I’m the same with the dairy as orange eczema was awful and touch wood since milk swapping it’s sooo much better for once my dad really thought about it and bought her a vegan Easter egg and I have to admit I have some to her for breakfast. We have to be super strict as once the eczema comes I start freaking out sending a hug for you because managing no dairy is so much easier for me at least than seeing orange itching and sad but I do struggle sometimes as what to give her xxI was vegan for years, including when I was first going out with my now husband and he lived at home.
I'm just veggie now, I largely still prefer vegan options but give myself a bit of latitude in other people's homes, desserts, etc to not make a fuss, although I do still prefer to not have stuff with dairy. So although I'd never say owt, it does upset me a bit when people close to me buy me non-vegan stuff because it just feels like they don't give a duck. Like if work give out boxes of chocs crack on. Gift from someone who doesn't know me well? Love it mate. But my MIL is obsessed with buying me Lindt and it all feels a bit pass agg as she knows me well enough to know what I actually like, and it's so easy to pick up now. Whatever.
Except I'm currently strictly dairy free cos of little lad's eczema. I've experimented (mum guilt!! as dairy 100% sparks a flare) and it has to be totally cut out at the mo. We've discussed it LOADS (another thing that annoys me haha, I don't really like my mum and MIL feeling entitled to the ins and outs of my child's medical details but I don't really know how to push back without coming across as a witch, especially as it's a minor health thing atm).
So she knows. We've been round about 4 times in the past week too, so I've clearly been having different milk in brews etc.
Still got given a bloody Lindt Easter egg that she'd 'specially chosen' for me today, and she did a sticky toffee pudding for afters and kept 'forgetting' and offering me it after I'd declined a million times and explained I couldn't eat it. Christ woman. We have many many issues and I know she doesn't really care about me, but think of your grandchild ffs.
(I know this is minor but feels good to get it off my chest haha).
Spose at least she got me an egg. Knobwaffle did not. I got him one, and his mum got him one, and he's going to end up eating mine from her if I'm not able

Ps I felt guilty when I was giving her kendamil and had no idea but you are a great mum for cutting it all out it’s worth it a billion percent I get annoyed sometimes when people say oh give her this that I’m like no have you not listened xI was vegan for years, including when I was first going out with my now husband and he lived at home.

they’re such twats aren’t they
I’m so done with it all. He really has no time for the baby. I know he’s stressed, but whatevs. I feel like I’ve carried this family since his dad got his C diagnosis just over 3 years ago (he died 2 years ago) everything is getting on top of me at the moment, and I feel like I’m crumbling
