Mother Faces Backlash for Not Spending Christmas in Hospital with Daughter

A mother has faced backlash after choosing to spend Christmas at home instead of in the hospital with her daughter, who was admitted due to a stomach illness triggered by certain foods. The daughter's condition has been a source of stress for the family as she refuses to cut out trigger foods, which led to hospitalizations in the past. On Christmas eve, despite a variety of non-trigger foods available, the daughter chose to indulge in her favorites, leading to a hospitalization that lasted for a few days. The mother chose to stay at home with the rest of the family and keep in touch with her daughter through calls and texts. However, this decision was met with criticism from most of the family members, causing the mother to seek advice on AITA subreddit. What do you think? Was the mother justified in prioritizing her own well-being and spending time with the rest of the family, or should she have put her daughter's needs above all else during the holidays?
