Two of my children are allergic to white chocolate. I never made a fuss over it. Just told them to stay away from it.
My grandson cannot bring a snack to school that isn’t in the original wrapper. My daughter can’t just throw a bunch of cookies in a ziplock bag. He also isn’t permitted a certain kind of pretzel because they are manufactured in a place that also makes peanut snacks. At lunch he MAY bring a PB&J sandwich because the peanut allergy kids have their own table.
At the age of 6 he can tell you just which kids have allergies and what they are.
Peanut allegies are much more severe than other allergies, such as those of your children. There are some (not all) who are so allergic to peanuts that the smell or touch of anything with peanuts can cause a life threatening reaction. I don’t know the situation with this particular child, and I am aware that some parents tend to overreact. However, the woman who is whining about having to make her son something other than a peanut butter sandwich, because it is more work doesn’t get much sympathy from me. Nor do people who complain that their children must eat at a separate table because they brought peanut butter.
It would appear that Freepers need to do a little more research on peanut/nut allergies before jumping to conclusions.
