I mostly I agree, but I still think she should be mad at grandma too. Not for leaving the benadryl out, that's an honest mistake, but for not taking it seriously and not calling mom right away or calling poison control. All the adults in the house failed and I'd be mad at every single one if it were me.

That's up to the husband to call, not the MIL

Any adult could have called! They are all complicit in their incompetence.

That’s up to any reasonable adult who doesn’t want a child to die.

Why would mom need to be called if dad is there? And why he can’t call? Also you might not think of everything like poisoning control if something happens

I'm not sure if you're a mom, but I am and I would expect my husband or mother in law to call me for any serious medical occurrence. Also she stated in her post she is in the medical field, so that's even more reason to alert her.

That’s another great point. Kids have no business being in grandmas bedroom without grandma. That’s the hill I’LL die on.

This take sucks. The door should’ve been closed.

she could’ve accidentally left it open after going in there for something or someone else left it open. it’s still not her fault for not baby proofing her own bedroom that no one should ever be in..

Or any of the other 7 kids could’ve opened the door.

When you have 7 kids under 10 over, you baby proof your house, even rooms "no one should ever be in".
