Having a food allergy momma pity party at the moment. DD is in a show and they are having a cast party after the last performance. I had signed up to help with the party but I guess there were a lot of people who volunteered so I am not on the committee. I got an email that its $3 and there will be pizza, cake and water. Yippee - my kid can have the water. She looked so sad when I told her this morning. I emailed the person in charge and told them DD would be there but I had to send her food and I would stay to help and she thanked me for offering to help. You'd think she might say, hey do't worry about the $3. (I don't care much about the 3 dollars but it is more of the principal - paying for things she won't have) I really wanted to make cupcakes or something everyone could have including DD. She is so anxious and I am worried she won't even enjoy herself. It just sucks. Milk and egg are so hard. She may be peanut and tree nut too but having those allergies myself I find them much easier to handle. People know much more about nut allergies. I am so sad that she is disappointed, I am sad she is anxious because that makes challenges hard if they are offered. I hate food allergies so much. I want my kids to be able be spur of the moment and we just can't be. It sucks. Sorry for my rant, I just needed to share in a place where everyone understands.
