[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, of course they exist. My kids go to nut-free daycare and elementary schools and even peanut-free camp (and no, we did not seek those out. Those happen to be the rules.)[/quote]

They do exist - but research shows they don't reduce the incidence of severe reactions to peanuts in schools. The only thing that does that is specific peanut free tables in schools.   I think that demonstrates why OPs request is useless.  People can change behavior for a specific child or specific table but it is hard to change behavior in general for the hypothetical.

Signage in the park OP frequents might help.

And no I don't let my child eat snacks while playing on the equipment.  (In fact I get annoyed at all the people who leave their leftover snack garbage floating around the playground because my toddler will find it and start eating the leftovers.)  My pet peeve is if you are going to eat at the playground - clean up after yourself!![/quote]
