[quote=Anonymous]OP, my kid is 17 and has had nut allergies since he was a toddler. When he was younger, I trusted that in the homes of his closest friends (and I was also friends with the parents), he wouldn’t be served food with nuts. I would never have berated the parents of his friends had your scenario happened and I think that was a bad reaction by them, but I relate to the underlying fear which likely is where the reaction came from, and I wouldn’t trust your house to be a “safe space” any more and would have counseled my kid the same. (It’s really precious to have those few and far between out-of-our-own-home places where my kid can let their guard down about allergens.)

However, the reason I am replying is because it’s so obvious how you really feel by the comments about the kid’s mom (your “friend”) that you are passive-aggressively dropping into your posts. You don’t want to be burdened by having to keep track of her kid’s allergies and you are resentful and think food allergies are somewhat overblown. That’s fair, just be clear about it with this family so they know their kid needs to use the same vigilant practices in your house as they would in any restaurant. [/quote]
