WWWWD?

We're visiting FIL and his wife next week.  Maddie is allergic to cow's milk, so I can't eat anything with dairy in it.  Do I tactfully remind them or zip it and hope that they remember?

I'm leaning toward tactful reminder, but having trouble wording it in such a way that I don't feel high maintenance.  Help?

Re: WWWWD?

  • well, you can always remind them, "Oh BTW do you know which stores carry (soy, goat, whatever) milk? Maddie has an allergy and I want to make sure we know where to get the right milk for her)".

    but be prepared to supply your own milk. this way you get the info if you need to get it yourself, and they may stock up for you knowing it's an issue.

  • You're the one who has to take care of Maddie if she has a reaction, I would tactfully remind them a few days in advance.

  • I'd remind.

    I'd hate to make something/prepare/stock the fridge and find I'd forgotten something crucial.

  • Go with what Zila said. I don't think it's high maintenance to ask for the right kind of milk.

    It would be high maintenance if you wore her for the whole time you're there so people couldn't hold her. 

  • Thanks everyone.  I just don't want to be the person saying, "What's in the mashed potatoes?  What's in the green beans?  What wasn't made with milk, butter, cheese, or cream?"  Fortunately, she's being retested at her 6 mo. checkup, so hopefully she's outgrown it by now.  Until we know for sure, I'm still watching what I eat.

    Maybe I'll just offer to bring something "so she doesn't have to go to any trouble" in terms of making anything dairy-free.
