[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A mom recently hosted a bday party for her ds with homemade food. I never talk about ds’s allergies but she asked and even confirmed with me what he’s allergic to. FF to the party, she says oops you said ds is allergic to tree nuts..? I made the cookies with almond flour. [b]Don’t ask to accommodate allergies unless you actually intend to.[/b] She could have killed my dc but instead of freaking out I just nervously laughed. People don’t talk about how stressful feeding a dc with allergies is because you really can’t trust anyone. [/quote]

This seems a bit harsh. DD has food allergy. We teach her to manage it and stay away from a whole array of foods, including dessert. She is 8 and doing well so far. The word is not going to accommodate her. She needs to learn to take care of herself. [/quote]

There’s a middle ground here. It’s not harsh to say not to claim you’re accommodating when you’re not because it leads to unsafe situations. And also kids bring their own food and that’s safer.
