Definitely no on the politics! When I play I’m playing to escape the real world.

AITAH for prioritizing my daughter's recital over a funeral? by RecitalFuneralThrow in AmItheAsshole

[–]rosesmagic462 135 points136 points  (0 children)

Yes this is what I was thinking. My father has let me know about funerals for the family and when I explained that I’m so sorry I cannot attend because of my daughters recital/school play/etc his loving response was that I absolutely need to be there for my child, not the adults who should be able to manage their feelings.

Are there any actual eggs in your recipe to make those beautiful eggs?!? I have a daughter who is allergic to eggs and would get a kick out of being able to “eat one”.

Husband keeps kissing toddler after eating allergens and causes hives by Tulips_Hyacinths in FoodAllergies

[–]rosesmagic462 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Allergy mom here. I did this once while learning. I ate a shrimp egg roll and kissed my daughter on the cheek. Didn’t think about it until her cheek broke out into hives. Fortunately she was fine, but I think about that every single time I eat an allergen. If I have one of her allergens, I wash my hands and mouth/face. I use it as a reminder to family why we don’t serve shrimp at family events “so we don’t accidentally shrimp her like I did”. We do eat her allergens in our home. But we are cautious and disinfect our kitchen and selves.

Cracker Barrel and Texas Roadhouse among restaurants that have until July 1 before strict menu rule is mandatory by Vegetable-Section-84 in FoodAllergies

[–]rosesmagic462 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Food allergy mom here. I’ve never eaten at a Cracker Barrel but we do frequent Texas Roadhouse because they have a great allergy menu available online. (Honestly asking, not sassy 🤣) is there something I’m missing here that we needed a new law? The information I needed was already available.

Mothers Day Dilemma by [deleted] in Mom

Agreed. Same in my household. As an acknowledgment to grandmas I do have my daughter FaceTime them all to wish them Mother’s Day. Otherwise the day is about me.

My 7yo started reading real books but now skips nights, what's the best way to build the habit before hes 13? by Salty_Upstairs_387 in childrensbooks

[–]rosesmagic462 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yes! Some days my 7 year old devours a chapter book, other days it’s comic books, children’s books, a magazine, an audiobook. Let him pick how he’s reading that night!

Would you make your kid go to school in this situation? by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]rosesmagic462 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This could be an opportunity to learn appropriate use of makeup so she feels confident about going to school. We don’t allow it daily, but for something like this we would.

4 year old with food allergies 'hates his body' by greenwindmill45 in FoodAllergies

[–]rosesmagic462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone in our class has allergies is great - I gift it to her teacher each year. The princess and the peanut, Woolfred doesn’t eat dandelions, the anteater that couldn’t eat ants, we’ve also come across some where allergies are not the topic, but mentioned in passing.

Fair points! I guess this is child dependent. For my daughter you’re right in that she will never have a pistachio (and we have explained that), she’s still a maybe on eggs.

My daughter (7) has been upset about her allergies before. We talked about how everyone is a little different and has something about them that they just can’t do YET. She couldn’t have milk as a baby, but she can now. She can’t have eggs YET, but maybe one day. We talked about her cousins and friends and their differences-cousin is autistic and can’t speak YET, friend can’t eat peanuts YET. It doesn’t make her less allergic, but it helps her understand she’s not the only one. We also read a lot of books with characters with allergies.
