[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am usually pretty chill when it comes to my son’s but allergy and I always think it is our responsibility to monitor it not other parents. My 13 year old usually finds it easier just not to eat anything at other people houses unless he is 100% sure. So yes he will have a slice of pizza but never baked goods, candy or even ice cream.

But in the situation you describe where kids are watching a movie and there is a bag of chocolates I would be pissed. Kids get distracted during movies and just glance down for a split second to unwrap chocolates and eat them. Chances are it was also dark during the movie.It makes it worse that you are familiar with his allergy and so maybe he could have let his guard down.

Peanut allergies are different than other food allergies where a child might get a stomach ache or diarrhea. A person can go into anaphylaxis where their tongue /throat swells, blood pressure drops and they stop breathing.

I probably too care free about my son’s  nut allergy. I never care about people washing hands if they recently ate nuts, he didn’t sit at the nut free table, his siblings eat pb&j sandwiches next to him, etc. But wow even I would be pissed and not want him at your house ever again. [/quote]

I approach my kids peanut allergy similarly as last paragraph and in this case the mom should have reminded the OP ahead of time.  I always do.  OP said she hasn’t seen the kid in a while. People have their own lives and are not keeping a roster of who has a nut allergy for years on end in their heads.[/quote]
