She is allergic to Lemonade but your Mom INSISTS on having Lemonade???
Really????
How insensitive.
That is her Granddaughter.
There are lots of other things you can have:
1) Mango nectar... mixed with Sprite or 7-Up, in a punchbowl with ice. And with scoops of sherbert in it floating on top.
2) Pineapple juice... same way as above.
3) Guava Juice mixed with 7-Up in a punch bowl with ice and scoops of Sherbert. Same was as above.
All of these are real popular local Hawaii things that we locals make for parties. It is a SUMMER or anytime, special thing.
Your daughter gets Migraines from citrus. It is a debilitating degree of Migraine? Does she have, or can she have medication, for the Migraines????
I think, (and sorry to say this), but I think your Mom is being really bossy and insensitive about this regarding her granddaughter. It is almost mean.
Being a good "Hostess" does NOT mean, that she has to serve Lemonade.
Geez... I don't know of any birthday party that my kids went to, that served lemonade. And this is Hawaii... land of fruit juices and fruit.
I think, your Mom... needs to get over it.
I feel sad for your daughter.
That is TOO much pressure she is putting onto YOUR daughter.
This is your daughter and your daughter's party... thus, YOU and your daughter decide, what to serve. NOT your Mom. NOT your Mom at all.
Tell her, "No Mom."
Your Mom seems to have a hang-up... about being thoughtful about your/your daughter's allergies. It is almost mean.
Does she know, that some people with food allergies, can die and suffocate???? Or swell up so bad they cannot breathe???
My daughter is allergic to Kiwi fruit. It causes reactions like I mentioned. My daughter loves Kiwi fruit... but she knows it is dangerous for her. And she is fine with that. But we don't go around SERVING Kiwi Fruit at her parties nor tell her we have to have Kiwi fruit for the guests.
Your Mom, is emotionally manipulative... bully like.
