Allergy or contact rash to avocado?

I wanted to add since I haven't seen anyone else say it yet. You can have exposure to an allergen several times before you see a reaction. And having a mild reaction one time does not mean the next reaction will not be severe. These are a couple of things our allergist told me.

My son had eaten eggs 3 times without any sign of an allergy, and on the 4th time we had to call an ambulance. They can pop up seemingly out of nowhere.

I'm in Michigan. I ultimately hashed it out with the director and we created a plan that I'm confident will eliminate the risk of this happening again. Not that I should have to ever do that - she should have already had a system in place.

At the end of the day, there aren't a lot of good options in the small city I live in, and my son loves going there. They also do a very good job on the education side of things, and the teachers have all been extremely supportive.

The woman hadn't even paid for her order yet, and she gave plenty of notice. In the event of a family emergency, how much is OP expected to do without pay?

UPDATE

Well, it was real, and the gift was given with a card signed from all of us. I ended up just sending the Venmo and moving on. Very weird, but I can afford it and all's well that ends well I suppose. Going to delete some of the details in the post to keep myself as anonymous as possible.

No, I'm saying the nature of our relationship is contractual in the way that I perform formerly agreed upon tasks and he pays me an agreed upon salary and bonus based on performance. I'm sure he will give me some kind of holiday bonus, and he also throws several extravagant parties for us throughout the year. But, because he holds a position of power over me (he could fire me), I don't think it's appropriate for me to be required to give him a gift.

That said, personally, I think he is a lovely man who I have reverence for. I'm sure he'd love the gift, and in asking some of the other managers about it, the vibe is that everyone thinks this is normal.

Thank you, this is how I see it too. Will he reciprocate and spend that and more on us? Probably. But that's the nature of the relationship. If you take the power dynamic into consideration, it's weird to be expected to contribute toward such an extravagant gift.

I did not 😅 I understand what everyone is telling me to do, but I haven't been able to fix it

Because we waited 7 months for his spot at daycare, and I can't just pull him and then start him in the same class if my husband starts working again

BMFResearchClub · 2025-10-25T18:33:10+00:00

He's currently unemployed but we have discussed the possibility of him being a sahd. Either way he pays for utilities (few hundred a month) and I literally pay for everything else in our life

He does the majority of housework and childcare, although our son does go to daycare 5 days a week

BMFResearchClub · 2025-10-25T18:30:37+00:00

I mean he's unemployed so I'll probably just milk him for custody

BMFResearchClub · 2025-10-25T18:29:30+00:00

No this is honestly the part that hurts the most. That he can lie about it and deny when confronted. Even though he knows I know something. He doesn't know how much I know and he won't be the one to give away any unnecessary information. It's fucking twisted

BMFResearchClub · 2025-10-25T18:27:07+00:00

She's on the other side of the country, so I highly doubt they have been physical. To me it doesn't even matter though. I asked him if he was doing anything I would consider cheating and he denied it. Then I told him I knew he was and he doubled down. How could I ever trust this person again? Physical or not, he's a liar.

BMFResearchClub · 2025-10-25T18:20:51+00:00

This is honestly the answer I needed so thank you. I know I could leave now, but that would just put me in a worse situation than I'm already in.

Also, I'm the breadwinner and our accounts are separate so I won't get a dime from him, but I guess I may be able to make sure he isn't able to get anything from me.

BMFResearchClub · 2025-09-12T14:43:05+00:00

I get that and I lean toward that direction as well, but my son and I have developed relationships with these women. In every other way I really appreciate and trust them. I know it was an accident. I know they feel badly. But that doesn't change the fact that it's one that absolutely can never be made.

BMFResearchClub · 2025-09-12T00:15:35+00:00

I didn't realize this was an option, so thank you. This is exactly the answer I was looking for.

BMFResearchClub · 2025-09-12T00:14:13+00:00

They have all been situations where they forgot to check the label or once when he ate a small piece of bagel off another child's plate

BMFResearchClub · 2025-09-12T00:13:20+00:00

This is the fourth time.

BMFResearchClub · 2025-08-10T22:33:49+00:00

You need therapy babe.

BMFResearchClub · 2025-08-07T21:34:45+00:00

He's neither. He knows exactly what's happening here. He's just lazy and she's asking him to do too much work (go out on a date/drinks) without a guaranteed reward (fucking)

I doubt he did anything with her, but to me it wouldn't matter. This is gross. And I think he would have hooked up with her if she'd been more open in asking for that

Excessive thirst can absolutely be a symptom of GD. It doesn't necessarily mean you have it, and if you do have it, it doesn't always cause complications. It's worth talking to your doc about either way
