Saying that, sometimes I do enjoy myself, and that is always a pleasant surprise!Allergy Funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04390844269581522223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817206857744576241.post-27163713599998790482011-07-14T17:42:28.814+10:002011-07-14T17:42:28.814+10:00wow its so familiar. we stopped going to other par...wow its so familiar. we stopped going to other parties just our close friends as they know the situation. We never let our son have nuts because of his allergies but he found one on the grass at my mothers befor we had epipens. People dont realize if they touch something and touch a plate your child will come up. and yes kids dropping food, I am a nervous reck at parties but I dont want him to feel like he miss's out so we compramise. keziahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817206857744576241.post-3068779068826031372011-06-24T08:55:59.548+10:002011-06-24T08:55:59.548+10:00Hi Tiffany, your cartoons have brought a smile to ...Hi Tiffany, your cartoons have brought a smile to my face many times over the last few weeks. They are a great way to start discussion on all sorts of topics.<br />Thanks for your reassurance though, sometimes we can get all wound up in our own way of thinking, it's hard to know whether it's the right thing to be doing or not. Hooray for it being the right thing this time!Allergy Funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04390844269581522223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817206857744576241.post-73797089947498484692011-06-22T06:17:08.338+10:002011-06-22T06:17:08.338+10:00I totally agree with you ~ I'm happiest at a p...I totally agree with you ~ I'm happiest at a party if 1) no nuts are served AND 2) I prepare all my child's food. <br /><br />It might sound over cautious ~ but it's not. You're so right!<br /><br />The risk of cross contamination is too high for certain items to be served openly, but I don't feel safe asking another person to take the precautions we have to take in food preparation. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing my cartoon :)Tiffanyhttp://www.foodallergyfun.comnoreply@blogger.com
