  • The story of how a woman lost her daughter because the grandmother didn’t believe that the girl’s coconut allergy was real, despite years of watching the parents trying to find out the allergen so that they could stop the girl from winding up in the emergency room. The grandmother kept the kid overnight and used coconut oil on her hair; the child went into anaphylaxis and died.

    The mother said that the grandmother begs her to see her other grandchildren, as they’ve now cut ties with her; the mom’s response was, “You can come over when you bring my daughter with you.”

    A horrible story of how some people just believe they know better than everyone, including doctors.













  • Hey, I think it’s fine to cut yourself some slack on this issue. :-)

    You like what you like, and if you’re going to commit resources and time to another being over 18 years or so, I think it’s fine to enjoy the way it looks! I for example love gray cats, but only because of a positive association I have with a previous pet. Are all gray cats as loving as he was? I’m sure not, but I still have such positive thoughts in my head about the grey babies.
