[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

I do think it's irresponsible of you as a parent especially since you know about the allergy and the kids are good friends, but it's not something a parent should be angry with another parent about at that age.

Not another random parent, no.  But a family friend who has known about her kid’s allergy for YEARS is someone she presumably (and with good reason) trusted to keep her kid safe.  Probably feels somewhat betrayed by OP.[/quote]

OP said she has her own problems. Get a grip. Her kid knew what to do. [/quote]

If your problems make you incapable of safely hosting a child, don’t host.[/quote]

Your naivete is going to bite you some day. You think your kid is perfectly safe whenever they are in a home not yours? Okay, lady.

No, I don’t think she’s perfectly safe even in my home. That’s not possible for any kid and certainly not for a kid with a serious allergy.

So I only leave her in the care of trusted adults. The kind who would be mortified if they made a mistake like this, not seeking an excuse.[/quote]

That's the whole point. OP was trusted until she wasn't. Can happen to anyone. Telling people "Fine don't host!" Might make you feel good but it won't help.[/quote]

NP. That’s not what happened. What happened is someone literally asked “what would make your kid feel safe in my home,” a parent whose kid has a nut allergy answered with clear instructions, and then the poster rudely said “that’s too much, we won’t invite you.”

THAT is the response that warrants a “fine, don’t host.” Any decent person would say, “That’s all good to know, and it will help me talk to the parents and make a plan for their kid to come over.” And that would warrant a “Thank you!”[/quote]
