[quote=Anonymous]Some people just think their kid is the center of everyone else's world.

If the person has a food allergies I would not move other people's food. If the child is young, the woman could've gotten the food for her own child. If it is a life threatening allergy, she could've just done the same. If it is a teen and the teen is capable of getting her own food and speak, she needs to manage it herself.

What she can do is mention that her child has a food allergy. Leave it at that. If it is a severe allergy, i would definitely mention that to the host and even with guests as a simple few sentences. If people want to ask more, they will. If they don't want to ask more, leave it at that. 
Also, bring food that you know your child can eat. Don't expect everything to be allergy free.

If it is a severe severe allergy, for example, have a reaction when you smell peanut butter, or walk under a walnut tree, that is different. Severe reactions should be mentioned to the host. Still, educate her own child to avoid all food if they do not know how it's made and no ingredients listed. 
If the child is invited to a party, mention that there is an allergy issue. The host can choose to accommodate which is the right thing to do, or say hey, i don't know how to to accommodate, can you bring your child food. 
Normally, if you have a child who has allergies, you just offer to bring their own food or even extra to share.

What I don't like is when the host has known you for over 5 years and do not know how to accommodate to the allergy child each time. Yet, the child's parent has always accommodate to the other family. So, that is not reciprocated.
