Ex-Wife Threatens Custody Shake-Up If Her Bizarre Dietary Demands For Her Kids Continue To Remain Unmet

For the past few weeks, our narrator (Original Poster) found herself trapped in a culinary minefield. One wrong move and everything could get blown to bits.

OP and her husband were even at the point where legal threats were being dangled should they refuse to abide. All this drama was courtesy of his ex-wife, Kate. Let’s dive into the details to get a clearer picture.

Kate was an avid believer in myths related to food combinations and gut biome—all thanks to her priceless alternative medicine blogs. What began as a genuine concern for the well-being of their shared children morphed into an exhaustive list of dietary dogmas.

From forbidding fruits after 5 pm to imposing a 15-minute digestion sit-down post-meal, the list has grown to an overwhelming extent. 

But this was only the tip of the iceberg. Kate shared a Google document of rules with them, and she regularly made updates—it was that serious.

To clarify, none of the kids suffered from food intolerances or allergies, but that didn't stop Kate from compiling a manifesto of culinary restrictions.

Trouble brewed when OP grew tired of making her stepkids abide by these cumbersome rules. Kate wasn’t ready for any excuses, though. She threatened to contend the custody arrangements if her requirements weren’t met.

But hidden beneath this wild kitchen clash was a tear-jerking story. Kate lost her child after he tragically succumbed to an unknown food allergy. This was what eventually caused her marriage to crumble.

Now, she houses extreme paranoia over the dietary choices of her two remaining children. Was OP wrong for disregarding her bizarre rules?
