My responsibility or theirs?

Question

My husband and I are expecting our second child and were invited over at my uncle's to dinner. They have kids aged 15 and 10. When we sat down to eat they had managed to make almost nothing that I can eat according to the recommendations on what to avoid when pregnant. I told them I can't have those things and they just shrugged, so I ended up going to the closest food place and brought back something for me. I felt so left out. Wasn't it their responsibility to make sure they made food that I could eat? Or should I have informed them on what I can't eat? I mean it's just a quick Google search away.

Accepted Answer

Unless they served you sushi and ibuprofen on a plate i dont see what they could have made that you absolutely cannot eat

Answer

some people are a lot more strict with what they do and don’t eat during pregnancy. you probably could’ve ate what they made you just chose not to.

Answer

I find it hard to believe that there was nothing you could eat, yet you went to a fast food place and ate from there? That doesn't make sense.

Answer

When you were first invited you should have mentioned any allergies or food issues.
They’re not mind readers. They are kind enough to invite people over for dinner, they shouldn’t have to ask every single person if they have any issues with certain foods.
You should have mentioned it before, rather than the day of.

Answer

Unless they served raw shark steaks and Long Island iced teas, you probably could’ve eaten it. Choosing not to and not being able to are two different things, especially since you just went to the nearest fast food joint and got junk food.

Answer

Please update the post and include what they served. Must’ve been really off the wall if you couldn’t eat any of it.

Answer

I'm just really wondering what they served it is hard to imagine that there was nothing you could have eat.

Answer

You should've mentioned it. Do they not know you are a strict diet?💁

Answer

I mean, them shrugging it off sounds a little rude BUT it was your responsibility to say something. 
What she ate while she was pregnant and what you choose to eat may not be the same things and considering the fact that their kids are older also comes into play.
And lastly, you made a comment about it “taking a quick google search” but in all honestly, you could have easily told them yourself.

Answer

I look at it as your responsibility. I am on a gluten free diet (not by choice gluten makes me very sick) and I bring my own food to gatherings. I know what I can and can’t have and that’s on me. I don’t say that sarcastically at all, can’t tell tone on the internet.
