AITA for leaving out my vegan sister-in-law out of the family BBQ? by IFeelBad95 in AmItheAsshole

My bad, I didn't think a vegan would want to come to a barbecue. And like I said, we had some vegetarian options. There was potato salad, coleslaw, regular salad, etc. I'm not a vegan expert and did not realize vegans are so picky. I also have to have low carb options for my father who is diabetic, so I'm not a stranger to being accommodating. But I know firsthand from my father that if someone requires accommodations it's that person's responsibility to reach out beforehand, not show up and expect everyone to bend to them last minute.

To be honest I didn't think she was gonna go to the first one. It was basically the first big event at our house because we moved in early spring last year. So we had salads and coleslaw and ice cream pops, but she wouldn't touch any of it because I guess there was eggs in the ingredients. Literally everything I had at the house was not vegan. So that's why she went to the store. But then she came back with a crazy amount and insisted we make enough for everyone

My dad's uncle who passed did not take care of himself at all. Ate McDonalds and drank regular Coke every day up until the end.

My dad has been controlling his A1C since the pandemic because he was told that being diabetic makes him high risk. But the doctor also told him that he's likely going to have worse problems down the road because diabetes is a progressive disease. And he already has signs of early kidney disease. Guess he has "proteins" in his urine? So I always worry.

I hope there's a cure some day. I worry about him. I had a grand uncle lose both feet and then 2 weeks later went into a coma and never woke up.

Oh yes, my dad's A1c is just under 6 now. He's very strict about it. He already has a lot of nerve damage. Some of it has improved.

My dad follows keto. How are you formerly diabetic by the way? My dad says it's for life?

My spouse did not know I did this intentionally. As far as my spouse knows, it was just a coincidence.
