Your child having a nut allergy isn’t my problem.
My son is seven years old and loves school, he is a very energetic happy lad but my son hates lunch time, all that Joseph likes is peanut butter sandwiches but one kid out of 300 students has a nut allergy.
The school has made a no nut policy where no one is allowed to have any nut products in school.
Ok great so one kid is allergic to nuts so now my son has to go without lunch, he won’t eat school dinners and only likes peanut butter in his sandwiches, he comes home from school and is starving, my poor boy is getting pains in his stomach because he is so hungry.
I pack him a ham sandwich in the hope that he may eat it, all he eats the whole time he’s at school is a piece of fruit and a yogurt asnything else that he likes has traces of nuts in it.
If my son was allergic to the sun they wouldn’t ban daytime now would they.
Why not make this kid eat in another room or go home for lunch, it’s beyond a joke that one kid can rule over the school.
I mean seriously if we didn’t wrap our kids up in cotton wool half these kids with allergies wouldn’t have got them in the first place.
When I was growing up no one had allergies as our mums ate what they wanted when they were pregnant, we didn’t anti bac everything and let kids get dirty and eat what they wanted and if a child had an issue it was their problem not the whole school or community.
If your kid has a nut allergy it really isn’t my problem nor my sons we shouldn’t have to make changes for one person.

From a parent that has a child with allergies you are extremely small minded. That peanut butter sandwich could kill that child. Just because tpur child refuses anything but peanut butter sandwiches isnt the poor child or family of the childs fault. Try living a day in the life of an allergy parent or watch your child have a anyphlactix reaction..would be a different story then
I really can’t believe your ignorance!! You say when you were growing blah blah but have you even actually grown up yet? Having a peanut allergy isn’t just some minor inconvenience, it’s a life threatening condition. Another childs life is a lot more important than your childs bloody peanut butter sandwich.
I thought I’d have a read of this, got to be more too it. Oh how wrong I was! First of all, some nut allergies are very bad and having nuts in the air could cause them to potentially die. Secondly, why should that child, obviously a very young child to be at a school with a child who only eats peanut butter, be segregated from the other 300 children and not socialise at lunchtime?
People didn’t have allergies when you were a child and pregnancy women are what they wanted… Wonderful. There were also a higher rate of child deaths and miscarriages. Only 10 years ago doctors wouldn’t operation on newborn babies with certain conditions, they would just allow them to die extremely young. The world IS evolving and people ARE growing. Maybe you need to teach your child to comprise. More importantly, why are you sending your child to school with sandwiches everyday? Bread is not only bad for you but it is not the only option! Get off your lazy backside and look up or think of more lunch ideas. If everything your child likes contains “traces of but” as you say, it means it comes out of a wrapper! Make some fresh food for him to eat!
I was completely appalled when I read this article. A nut allergy is not a simple thing; it can be life threatening! A child with a nut allergy doesn’t even have to eat something with nuts, they can go into anaphylactic shock just having that mutt in the same room or area! You canopy possibly tell me that your son eats NOTHING BUT PEANUT BUTTER SANDWICHES! That may be his preference but it is not the only thing he ever eats; (you said so yourself he eats a yogurt and a piece of fruit.) Give him more fruit and even a second yogurt. There’s NO reason at all for him to come home “starving or with pains in his belly; give him other options. However if all YOU want to feed him is peanut butter sandwiches then bring HIM home for lunch!
I truly hope that your son is never in a situation where his life is at risk and those around you are as selfish and ignorant as you are. PLEASE look at the bigger picture and not at what is convenient for you.
