What I want to know is the person making this statement able to say, we know how to handle and we do it well. Are they able to define what well means?<br /><br />I had a well meaning relative say the same thing. We know what to do, so I asked what does that mean. The answer was not okay.<br /><br />I loved this article! I enjoy your fresh and honest approach too.

Yes! and Yes!<br />We haven't get gotten to the point when our son is at sleep away camp as opposed to day camps that we can deal with my sending his snack and lunch each day, but even for sorting out whether he can do the craft and baking projects at day camp, those comments make me nervous. <br />It sounds to me like folks really latch on to one of his allergens ("Oh, don't worry, we know about peanut allergy") when what I really need them to understand is that he also allergic to foods other than peanut. <br />It makes me so anxious to hear, "Don't worry" precisely because I think that it shows that the speaker is asking me to just trust them, which I absolutely cannot do. Especially if their other comments suggest that they are only focused on the peanuts and don't understand there are other foods we need to be concerned about.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05519365851813107611noreply@blogger.com
