Allergic to nuts
My 2 year old daughter is allergic to nuts: peanuts and cashews (and therefore pistachios). Going to a restaurant or to someone else's house for dinner is an anxiety-provoking experience. Even my own mother's!! She still put nuts on her famous salad (the only thing she "cooks") even though she is well aware of my munchkin's allergy. My in-laws kept their peanut jar right next to my daughter's treats in the cupboard! HELLOOO???? Can people really be that dense? Apparently so.

I just saw your comment at "Peanut Free Mama," and had to leave you a note. Less than a month ago, my son had an allergic reaction at preschool, when the teacher gave him pretzels that had been produced in a facility that also handles peanuts. (I posted about it at the time on my blog, if you want the details.) You are not being paranoid or too careful. If I had a picture of my son's face and neck covered in hives to show your mom, I would email it. It's your job to keep your daughter safe, and it sounds like you are doing a good job of it. Don't let the family make you doubt yourself! Libby
