[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP who just read your follow up. Okay I'd just say no snacks.[/quote]
Even after a long day at school? Often she stays until dinner when one of her parents picks her up!

I guess it’ll have to be chips and fruit. [/quote]

She eats things that make her ill but does not carry meds with her. She's 12 but does not seem to have a good handle on her allergies. She's been to your house numerous times but none of the adults have had a conversation about what's safe for her to eat.

This whole situation just seems off.

My 6 year old knows to ask about ingredients and only eats things he's eaten safely before. When in doubt, he just does not eat anything at someone else's house. It's not that hard. [/quote]

All of this.  Op, she's 12.  If she can't/won't manage it just say  "sorry, I don't know what I have that won't make you sick."

This is a little ridiculous at 12.  Unless she was recently diagnosed.

+1 from a parent of a kid with an anaphylactic allergy and always carries an epi-pen.  Our daughter developed the habit of carrying her own snacks.  You could be part of the encouragement/natural consequence to inspire her to embrace that.  Feeding her food she might be allergic to feels cruel.  Encouraging her to bring her own snacks might assist the parents in helping the girl create a new habit that she’s going to need over the course of her life.[/quote]
