[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Closing a pool gate when toddlers are around is not the same thing as a bowl of wrapped candy bars, some of which contain nuts, to a group of 11 year olds!

Parents who think the world is responsible for their kid with nut allergies would be better never leaving their side.[/quote]

The world? No. The adults who voluntarily take responsibility for our children knowing they have serious allergies? Absolutely.

And yes, serving a bowl of candy with nuts to a kid with allergies is exactly as irresponsible as leaving a pool gate open when you’ve got toddlers around. Maybe it will be fine! And maybe it really won’t. And either way you have a dead child in your house with no one to blame but yourself.[/quote]

11 year olds are not the same as toddlers.[/quote]

So the doctor who visited Disneyworld, had a lengthy conversation with servers about her allergies, confirmed with them, then had an allergic reaction, administered her epi-pen and had paramedics on the scene, and then died of the allergy exposure was “acting like a toddler”?

Or did negligence from the people who were supposed to keep her safe—the staff who talked with her and confirmed about allergens—fail? [/quote]

In OPs story the mom nor the kid never checked with her to confirm the allergens in the food. Analogy fail.[/quote]

This was a mom who knew about the allergy. Probably she’s told the other mom 100 times, “Of course, yes, I remember Timmy is allergic to nuts! I even bought blah blah blah…”[/quote]

She knew and still forgot. Are you shocked? So your remind 101 times.[/quote]

And then your friends and the moms on DCUM will label you as “neurotic” and will gossip about you, roll their eyes, and judge you.

I’m an allergy mom and this has never been my experience— there’s plenty of people out there who take care when they’re responsible for other people’s children and don’t act like it’s an imposition. I hope you find a better group PP!![/quote]
