Most people are huge fans of chocolate.
Whenever you ask me for desserts, there is a 100% chance I will ask for chocolate because I am obsessed with chocolate. However, not everyone loves chocolate and even when they do, some people are simply allergic to it and can’t ingest it unless they want to end up with hives all over their body. Now I can’t speak from experience since I don’t think I have any allergies but I can imagine that it must feel quite bad when you can’t eat something or have to be careful with food.
A lot of people do deal with allergies but it can be a hard thing to adjust to, especially if the person is young. That is the case with this particular story. The mother in this scenario wants her daughter to have a chocolate cake but her nephew is allergic to chocolate. Now, this doesn’t sound like a big deal but she has tried for her daughter to choose something else but her heart is set on chocolate. This has apparently caused some tensions within the family.

The title makes it sound like it is done intentionally but it is not like that at all.
She tried to convince her daughter to go with vanilla but she wasn’t having it.
However, she did decide to get an individual cake for the nephew which is nice.
I would say that she is going above and beyond trying to cater to her nephew. Just because he can’t eat chocolate doesn’t mean other kids have to suffer with him too. After all, most kids would prefer chocolate over vanilla anyway. And she was kind enough to get him an individual cake so his mother is just being overdramatic.
People in the comments were unsurprisingly on her side.
Most people called out the other mother for being dramatic.
They felt sorry for the kid.
But his allergy is not anyone’s fault.
Rather than teaching her kid to manage his expectations, she is making him learn bad behavior.
Not everyone will be as kind as this woman was.
And he should be ready to understand that.
One person even shared their personal story.
They dealt with worse treatment when they were a kid.
And yet it is important to learn to face the world head-on.
