I can not possibly express how pleased I am with this school. And I love the other parents I&#8217;ve met thus far. They&#8217;re smart, they&#8217;re nice, they&#8217;ve got their act together. It&#8217;s a nice crowd. The teacher has great command over the classroom for her young age. As she led us through a manual for parents she&#8217;d written up, the topic of nut allergies came up. I&#8217;m not sure I handled it well.<\/p>\n<p>My daughter has a serious tree nut allergy. She&#8217;s deathly allergic to walnuts, pecans and filberts. And the other nuts also could cause serious problems. She even has a mild peanut allergy. Another girl in the class has a peanut allergy. We were talking about how the school doesn&#8217;t have a &#8220;no nuts&#8221; policy or something and I chimed in that I was very supportive of this. I hate that my daughter has this nut allergy but I don&#8217;t think that it means everyone in her path should have to alter their lives. We&#8217;ve pounded this &#8220;no nut&#8221; thing into her head daily for years now and we&#8217;ve sent the Epi-pens to school and all that. Sure, sometimes I want her to live in a bubble, but it doesn&#8217;t seem fair.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, after I went off on this tirade, I realized I&#8217;d Mommyjacked the conversation. What if the other mother of an allergic kid there was hoping for a no-nuts policy? Is there some sort of solidarity pact we&#8217;re supposed to form? How do I learn these things? I don&#8217;t want to let down my fellow parents of allergic kids.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week I went to Back to School Night at my daughter&#8217;s school.
