Woman cuts ties with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law after grandma secretly adds peanuts to a pie to test her allergic 14-year-old’s “resilience,” resulting in an ER trip: ‘I was quick to grab the EpiPen. We were rushing to get Macy to the hospital’

Family dinner is rarely meant to be a test of evolutionary fitness, but some in-laws simply cannot resist their primal urge to turn Sunday dessert into an extreme sport. 

Meet the mother-in-law whose approach to allergies is less modern medicine, more natural selection by whipped cream. Instead of respecting the mundane, boring advice of doctors, she goes full Darwinian selector, slipping chopped peanuts into the dessert to shake out the weak with a single bite. 

When her grandchild’s throat starts closing, she preserves her icy composure, insisting that peanut allergies are nothing but a phase and that toughness is best taught through a close-call dose of allergens.
