[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would just bring her own food everywhere.  Pp is right that people understand that kids have peanut allergies and milk allergies or are being raised vegan or xyz.  
If she is going to a birthday party, send her her own special meal and treat.  She will probably not be the only kid there in this situation.  Saying that she can have one cupcake but not two is confusing to everyone.  When you are there, or when she is older and can manage these nuances on her own, then she can have a little of what everyone else is having.  For right now, she has her own food packed by you, and nothing else. [/quote]

How is this confusing? Why does a 4 year old need more than one cupcake? I have hosted over 10 children’s parties between two kids. Literally every time a child has asked me for a second cupcake or slice of cake my first response is “ask your mom/dad”.[/quote]

I meant that it’s confusing to a four year old.  I am going to guess that the times OP is standing right there to ask, this isn’t an issue.  It’s the other times.  Drop off parties, staying with grandma, play dates, etc.  [/quote]
