I like to think that in-law horror stories are overblown. Like sure, there are monsters-in-law out there, but on the whole people have decent relationships with them. We're just hearing about the worst ones.
So when "Disrespected Daughter-in-Law" sent a letter to Ask Polly, the advice column at The Cut, she described the issue as her in-laws being careless about her food allergy.
I mean, they couldn't possibly be malicious, could they? Just disrespectful, right?
