[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Man, a lot of people on this board just do not care about others. Personally I would be happy to accommodate this request. No, the other person does not have an obligation to stop bringing the snack, but it's a fairly small thing one caretaker can do to make another a little less anxious. I don't think it's that big of a deal to ask. [/quote] It’s not about a lack of empathy or altruism, necessarily. It’s whether the request would actually have an effect if the concern is peanut residue on equipment (as OP confirmed in an earlier post). The proper mitigation technique would be to police all snacks before or during the child’s playground date. That’s just not practical. So here, it really isn’t about true mitigation. If it were an indoor play date, totally different scenario. Here, the best mitigation seems to be 1) tell child never to accept snacks 2) carry an epi-pen 3) regularly clean child’s hands and face.
