  1. “having a baby = Best thing that’s ever happened in my life. So much joy. I want another one.”

    So it’s one of those, “can’t really explain it, but you should probably do it” kind of things. It’s very interesting to hear your take, as a fellow tough-cookie.

  2. “WHAT??????? Every kid’s lunch has to bwe screened because ONE has an allergy??? That’s fucking ridiculous.”

    Legion, I was just about to post what Dave posted. Ridiculous!!! I want my PB&J, and I would want my kid to have their PB&J, and if there’s a kid with nut allergies, while I’m sympathetic and don’t want the kid to have a reaction, why on earth would that kid be in my kid’s Brady Bunch lunchbox or anywhere near my kid’s sammich???

  3. Have they ascertained how damgerous this kid’s allergy is??? 99% don’t go into shock when they are in the same room.

    I’m sure the parents whipped this up into a frenzy far beyond what it is.

  4. DIBS — i imagine it’s an insurance issue. There are kids with nut allergies and then there are a few kids with severe nut allergies (like, go to the hospital and spend days on a respirator kinds of allergies). Some schools and preschools, particularly lower age, impose severe restrictions because it is too hard to police no-sharing to the point of 100%. I believe insurers demand this level of caution as part of general liability.
