[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's how I picture this scenario:

Mike makes a smoothie for himself and Karen. Tells Karen it is for her. Karen shares with child. (Is Mike in the room at this point? Or in another area? Split level kitchen-dining area?) Mike thinks he can either yell at Karen that she wasn't supposed to give it to child or says nothing because it is too late now that child has ingested the Frangelico. Mike crosses fingers and hopes for no reaction in the child.

A) How often does Mike make smoothies? Does he usually add ingredients? Does he usually tell Karen the ingredients? Was today a surprise moment of Mike's to make these?,
B) Did Karen ask why Mike said it was only her smoothie? Did Karen ask why one was not made for child?
C) If Mike told Karen after the child drank it, that there was Frangelico, what would Karen have done? Poison control? ER? pediatrician?

OP here. DH was in the kitchen when I gave DD the drink. Literally 3 feet away.

A) he makes smoothies often, about 4 times a week. About 90% of the time, I cut up all the fruit and he blends it up. So I usually know the ingredients myself. 
B) he didn't say it was only mine. He kept seeing DD take more sips and mentioned to her that she shouldn't have it, that it was momma's. DD just had a bowl full of fruit so I figured he didn't make her a smoothie because she already had so much fruit. 
C) I would have called the pediatrician. I would have monitored her more closely. [/quote]
