[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again -- thanks for the info. I didn't realize that a Class 3 was that serious. They said it's "only" a class 3 and at a class 2 they don't even consider that a food allergy, so it was at the bottom of the food allergy chain.[/quote]

OP again. I don't mean they literally said it was at the bottom of the food allergy chain. That was just the impression they gave me. They did say "only a class 3" and told me that she also has a class 2 egg allergy that I shouldn't be concerned about because the numbers weren't high enough.[/quote]

Who are you seeing - a pediatric allergist?  Or your pediatrician?

Please try hard to get over your concern about being "that" parent.  You are playing into the very thing that could harm your kid.  You will learn this over time - you are the only person who will be able to adequately prepare and protect your kid.  People who think of parents of kids with food allergies as "that parent" do not understand the severity of food allergies and are - from here on out - creating a danger for your kid.  Don't be one of them. [/quote]

Maybe if you didn't act like every parent with non-allergic kids is trying to sabotage your kid (and you probably treat them as such) they would be more willing to help. It's all about your attitude and how you approach people. Advocate for and protect your child, certainly, but don't look for reasons to be offended.

I see a lot of really defensive attitudes toward people who don't "get" allergies on this board. The prevalence of peanut allergies is a relatively new phenomenon and most of us didn't deal with them in our childhood, so a little understanding on both sides would go a long way.[/quote]
