[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you instead during heavy bee season have her go to indoor activities? There are tons of open gyms at the gymnastics places as well as other activities like a nanny and me class you could splurge on and take him to the playground when you get home.  Honestly, I can't blame her.[/quote]

OP here.  I can't blame her either, but unfortunately I really don't want DS to be inside 35 hrs a week and during the best part of the day (i.e. before 5:30 when he's exhausted from the long day already).  He's generally in bed around 7:30 so between dinner/bath plus balancing the older kids' homework needs, etc. relying on after DH or I get home in order to go outside just isn't ideal for our family's needs.

Our nanny is very educated, but I will suggest she bring up her fear to her allergist.  I went through something similar when I was diagnosed with my food allergy (it was a sudden onset in my 20s) but I realized I couldn't let it hold me back and interfere with my life the way I was letting it.  Kind of hard to suggest that to someone else though without sounding incredibly patronizing.

I really don't know what I'm going to do.  DH doesn't quite get it since he has no allergies so he has a hard time really understanding how the fear impacts you.

Anyways, thanks PPs[/quote]
