[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop beating yourself up.  This kid is a year away from middle school and probably goes trick or treating without any parents, or soon will.   He’s a little old to go home and go crying to a parent over this.   At 11, he needs to triple check everything before eating it.  And yes, my kid has an allergy too.  [/quote]

Weird, we tell our kids to tell us if they’re uncomfortable. It doesn’t mean he’s “crying”. Near misses aren’t fun for anyone, I wouldn’t want my kid to feel they had to cover up for an adults screwup.[/quote]

That’s where we disagree. At that age, I don’t think it’s an adult screw up and why I compared it to trick or treating. At a certain age a kid is going to be surrounded by food that could contain nuts and needs to check.  People go to parties and there will be food with nuts. They will be at your work events and at social gatherings.  The kid saw candy with nuts and didn’t eat any.  He told his mom. It’s was fine. There was no need for a nasty text to the host. The kid isn’t 5.  And again, I have a kid with an allergy and a nephew with nut allergy who’s had an reaction after eating nuts at a party.  No one blamed the host.  [/quote]
