[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised nobody thinks this is okay. I would assume the child has severe allergies and if somebody mixed serving spoons it is literally a matter of life or death for the child. I would never have trouble accommodating someone with an allergy. They kill. That is pretty anxiety-inducing. I would be grateful I didn't have to deal with it and be happy to make them feel safe. I would also have asked about allergies before hosting and not have included any foods that contained those allergens. [/quote]

+1. So sorry OP had to walk 10 extra steps from the dining room to the kitchen to get her “good” food (that the child can’t even enjoy). Why on Earth do you care about this? It’s unusual for a teen this age, but you have no idea what this family has and has not gone through. Give them the benefit of the doubt.[/quote]

But this doesn’t even make sense. The mom wasn’t asking how the food was prepared. For all she knows the serving spoon for the mashed potatoes could have been on the same spoon rest as the roasted brussel sprouts. If the kid is so deadly allergic then he needs to bring his own food OR work it out with the host ahead of tim.

Hiding the other food is idiotic.

Think about it: From a purely selfish standpoint, if all the other guests see is the allergy safe food, that’s what they’re going to serve themselves. Then all the safe food is consumed super fast and your kid has nothing to eat if they want seconds.

Again, this is rude, but more than that it’s also incredibly stupid. [/quote]
