[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 493527, member: 1550"] Vent away, hon. We certainly understand! If this were me, we'd never make that trip again...ever. If sister in law doesn't "get it" then it's not worth even trying. Was this your husband's sister? She sounds horrible! But, then, I remember your first posting about it and you were concerned. Unfortunately, it looks like you were right to be concerned. I second that she sounds like a witch (with the b substitution). When my son was small, he was very volatile and inflexible and we knew it. We couldn't even take him shopping let alone on vacation. The few times we tried taking him to restaurants he had meltdowns and for many years we had to stay home for the holidays. He is eighteen now and way beyond meltdowns, however he still does not like to go to new places and he really only goes on family trips because he knows he has to go...he would rather stay home. Our differently wired kids are sometimes better off with as little stimulation as possible. I know this is mean, but I wish sister in law had forced your son to taste some of her "slop" and that he had vomited on her floor. My son did that once when my daughter made him try cheesecake at a restaurant. Maybe if that would have happened sister in law would have seen WHY he is allowed to only eat certain food. Poor little guy obviously has sensory issues and is repelled by certain textures and smells, just like my son was (and still is to a point).

We all get it. I am so sorry you don't have any family support, but you always have us. We will always listen and understand. I'm glad your little guy was happier once you left sister in law's house...I can't say I blame him! I am so sorry that you had to go through this. Hugggggz! [/QUOTE]
