[quote=Anonymous]OP: This is not symbolic of her assessment or relationship with you. STOP IT. This isn't about YOU. This is about her being sad that she can't be like other kids. This is about HER. If you want that sweet tender 8 y.o. relationship, you have to focus on her, not yourself, and stop taking things personally--it's NOT symbolic. A famous saying, "Sometimes a cigar is only a cigar." (meaning, not symbolic of anything sexual). It means, you shouldn't go to that deeper meaning when there is none. And btw, I try to feed my 9 and 11 y.o. healthy lunches and it IS difficult. It will always be difficult when you are trying for healthy and they are looking at their friends' who have junk. Allergies or no. Imagine if you went to lunch with friends *every day!* and *every day* you are trying to eat your salad with chicken on top, and someone's got the hot buttered rolls, pasta and the chocolate cake.[/quote]
