[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This can’t be a true story when 11yos are involved. If true, your friend is way out of line. There are nuts in the world and an 11 yo is old enough to navigate that.[/quote]

OP here. It is true, but not difficult to understand if you know my friend. She’s very much a helicopter parent and there’s a lot of codependence and micromanaging. Still, she trusted me enough to remember something important, and I blew it.[/quote]

OP, my kids know to advocate for themselves, but be careful with all your judgment. For one of my kids it got worse and now even being in a space with someone eating treenuts can be an issue if the person coughs or anything goes airborne. We are working on options with the allergist. We remind people and so does he, but we have learned to turn down invites from people who think it's just being obsessive. I know you forgot, but clearly you also have issues with the parent. Be grateful nothing happened and be grateful something as simple as candy can't kill your kid or lead to a hospital visit. Clearly your friend and her kid need to give reminders, but have grace.[/quote]
