[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a nut allergic kid, but realize other people don't and might bring PB to a public place. It's my job to watch my kid until she's old enough to look put for herself (she's only 1.5). I do appreciate those parents who are conscientious enough to wipe their kid down after eating PB ?

That said, I once saw a 3 year old go into anaphalactic shock from nuts. It was horrifying, and I would never forgive myself if I was even indirectly a contributing factor to that. It scared me off ever bringing PB into public (this was before my nut allergic kid. My older kids have no allergies, but I wouldn't let them take a PB sandwich or snack to the park. My kids eating PB out of the house was not worth another kid's life.)[/quote]

I guarantee all these parents ranting about how they have to bring their peanut butter to playgrounds would be the first to go ballistic if it was their child whose life was in danger.  They really don't get it.

Look, bring your PB&J but make sure your kid isn't sharing it with anyone or spreading it around to playground equipment or anywhere else. That is the problem.  For that matter, keep your kids' food of any kind off the playground equipment and everywhere else.  It's called basic hygiene and common sense. If you can't manage that, then eat at home.[/quote]
