[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait until your child gets to elementary school, high school, college and the work world. Are you going to tell your child’s roommates they can’t eat almonds?[/quote]

Actually yes.  [b]We only will be able to send her to peanut free schools[/b].  In college she will have to request a peanut free roommate unless she grows out of it.  And we’re working on it. [/quote]

These don’t exist. Maybe preschools.

Good luck.[/quote]

Yes, they do?!

My DD's public elementary school was 100% peanut free due to kids with severe allergies. We received numerous notices prior to the start of every school year to remind us/inform new parents. They sent lists of alternative nut butters that were approved instead. There was even an open house event that had samples of different nut butters so kids could try alternatives. [/quote]

My kids school is supposed to be nut free and there are kids there every day with nuts in their lunchboxes!!! My own kid will only eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich so we just tell him it’s sunflower seed butter and not to share it with other kids! The nut free allergy kids I know are smart and don’t eat anything from other kids. [/quote]

I also have a kid who will only eat peanut butter sandwiches for lunch. We tried various meats and other good sources of protein, but for a kid with severe feeding issues that require OT, everything else is just too damn difficult for my kid to eat in the very very short lunch period. Nut allergy parents assume every kid can just eat something else and be fine and that only [i]their[/i] kids have special snowflake problems. I really wish I had more empathy for nut allergy parents, but I have been dealing with my kid's neurological and feeding issues for too long and I am f'ing exhausted! Nut allergy kids are not my problem. I have enough problems.[/quote]

Selfish pig [/quote]

This is obviously a troll post, but the idea that everyone must care about other people's children as much as they care about their own is so stupid. [b]There is absolutely nothing selfish about a parent working themselves to exhaustion to meet their own child's needs and not having anything left over to accommodate some **hypothetical** stranger's child's needs[/b]. Do you go around whispering and never whistling because there exist children with sensory issues who react badly to certain loud noises? Do you forego deodorant and perfume because there exist children with sensitivity to fragrances? If not, you too are a selfish pig. [/quote]

This line is so absurd. “WAAAAH I DON’T HAVE THE BAAAAAANDWIDTH TO FEED MY KID A DIFFERENT SANDWICH AT THE PLAYGROUND OR,IF THEY’RE SO VERY SPECIAL THAT ANOTHER FOOD CAN NEVER TOUCH THEIR LIPS EXCEPT PEANUT BUTTER, TO FEED IT AT HOME BEFORE GOING TO THE PLAYGROUND!!!”

You sound like the ridiculous SAHM moms who whine endlessly about “mental burden” and add up the salaries of professional chefs, laundry services, chauffeurs, nurses, therapists, etc, and them scream that that’s how much they're “worth.”

And once again, autism and sensory sensitivities aren’t *fatal,* so you can stop with the false equivalences now.[/quote]

Stfu crazy [/quote]

No, entitled.[/quote]
