Woman Claims Daughter-in-Law Tried to Poison Her Despite Ignoring Her Allergy Warning Over Cinnamon Bread
A woman brought cinnamon swirl bread over to her sister-in-law, but her mother-in-law, who is allergic to the spice, ate it instead The Redditor says she warned her mother-in-law not to eat the loaf, but she did so anyway Now, the mother-in-law is claiming she tried to 'poison' herA woman says her mother-in-law is claiming she tried to "poison" her with a loaf of bread that contained cinnamon, despite warning her to stay away from the baked goods. In a post on Reddit, the anonymous 22-year-old woman writes that she recently "jumped on the sourdough bread train." "I've had several people slide up and say they would love a loaf, including my in-laws," she writes. On a recent trip to visit them, she made three loaves: a traditional loaf, a cheddar-jalapeño loaf and a cinnamon swirl loaf, the latter of which was specifically for her sisters-in-law since her mother-in-law is allergic to the spice. The poster said she baked her mother-in-law's bread first "to avoid any cross-contamination" and put the cinnamon loaf "in its own container separate from the loaves that would go to MIL." "When I dropped them off, I made sure to tell them that one loaf was cinnamon," she writes. Despite going to extra lengths to ensure her mother-in-law knew one of the loaves contained cinnamon, the matriarch still decided to cut herself a slice of the sweet bread. "While we were there, MIL cut herself a slice of the cinnamon bread, saying she wanted to taste it. All of us said she really shouldn't, since she's allergic to cinnamon," the Redditor writes.

"She said she would avoid the cinnamon swirl and just eat the plain bread. After more protest, it was clear that she was not going to listen. She ate it, said it was good, and cut another slice," she adds. At first, "nothing happened," and the couple believed it would be okay to head home. "My husband and I assumed that maybe she isn't as allergic as she thought and everything was fine. We went back to my mom's house, and an hour later both of our phones started blowing up," she writes. "MIL says I gave her horrible diarrhea with my 'nasty bread,' and is now claiming that I tried to poison her by giving them bread that has cinnamon in it." Now, both the woman and her husband's grandmother "are adamant" that she "shouldn't have brought cinnamon bread into the house at all." "I thought bringing it would be fine. I've been there plenty of times when SILs had cinnamon rolls on the stove, or snickerdoodle cookies in a jar. I assumed that she wouldn't even touch the container because as far as I had seen, she didn't touch the other stuff," she explains. Many Reddit commenters voiced their suspicions about the situation, suggesting that her husband's mom intentionally created the situation. "Your MIL did this on purpose. I think you need to figure out why she created a situation where she could tell people you intentionally fed her cinnamon and gave her diarrhea. Bc that is exactly what she did. Hell, she even ate a second piece," wrote one. Added another commenter: "Your MIL sounds like she wants to have an issue with you. She knows what her allergies are, and you advised her of the risks of trying a known allergen bread and she still went for it. At this point I'd apologize to your SILs about MIL unfortunate gastric distress for eating a known allergen against warning." Read the original article on People

Carolyn Hax: How to shut down an in-law who thinks her meanness is funny?
Adapted from an online discussion. Dear Carolyn: Help! I have a big family get-together this weekend, and my passive-aggressive, often snarky, cruel, insecure sister-in-law is coming. She loves to 'jokingly' belittle people — including me, my parents, my brother (her husband) and anyone else — and I do not want to put up with it. She thinks she's being funny, but it just shows how petty and judgmental she is.
