[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a six year and drop off but only do so if hosting parent is okay with me dropping off kid with his own cupcake and epi as he does have food allergy. 99% of parents are okay with this but every now and again I stay. Of course I write that parent off because there is a greater chance of someone choking then my kid having a reaction with their own food so will assume host parent is a basket case.[/quote]

You sound pretty selfish.  You don't just drop off a kid with an epi pen and hope a parent is ok with it.  You need to explain to them how it is used and go over what is ok for your child.  There are videos online.  If a parent is not willing or want to be trained in it, why on earth would you risk your child safety if the allergy is serious enough to have a pen.  When we host a party we always ask each parent for any food allergies or picky eating to make sure the child will be safe/have something to eat.  To write off a parent because they are not comfortable with food allergies is strange.[/quote]

Fellow parent of a kid with a food allergy here: We always tell the host parent in advance when we RSVP. We ask if they are comfortable with the epipen and give them the quick rundown of what using it entails. Most are comfortable, but I'd never look down on a parent who is able to admit that they aren't. It scared the #$#% out of me to think about having to use an epipen when my child first was diagnosed. I've since had to use one twice and I still find it scary. If the host isn't comfortable, I'd rather know so I can stay (and stay as far out of the way as possible). We also go out of our way to bring a safe cupcake for our kid and make things as low-maintenance as possible for the host.[/quote]
