[quote=Anonymous]While an 11yo knows better, it’s still kind of scary. My daughters have friends we’ve known for years, and I still double-check and the onus is definitely on me/my kids, but it can be very frustrating when people “goof.” It’s not a “goof.” It’s extremely dangerous.

It’s dangerous especially if my kids are dealing with their grandparents or people we have known forever who should know and remember. I go overboard with reminders and reminding the kids, etc., but it makes me want to scream when my mom makes cranberry sauce with walnuts ***for the first time in her life, she always just boils cranberries/sugar/water*** and then acts huffy when I double-check the suspicious-looking cranberries and she’s like “Oh yeah I put walnuts in this year” and I say you should have told me AND my sister, as between the two of us we have three kids with nut allergies.

It’s hard not to be able to fully trust grandparents or parents of good friends. That said, the burden lies on the parent and the allergy kid, not you, but I can see why the kid would be upset. You’re supposed to be a “safe person.” That said, the mom should not have yelled at you at all. She should have just discussed it with you for next time.[/quote]
