I'd kill myself if I were allergic to peanuts

Exactly. These whiny count have to do everything they can to make themselves the center of attention. Attention whoring at its finest.

I've had a life threatening peanut allergy my entire life, and I can say with certainty, this is fricking stupid. Sorry, but no random neighbors should plan their Halloween around your child's specific allergies. If I got candy with peanuts, I sucked it up and gave it to my friends or traded with them. This parent is teaching their child to be entitled as frick, and the world isn't going to protect them from their own allergy. Gotta learn to handle it and deal with turning down foods that have peanuts in them

If I saw that flyer in my neighborhood it would be a daily struggle to not want to tear it down each time I read it.

I didn't read the whole thread but is anyone else bothered by the fact that they took the time to make a flyer and typed "allergy-conscience"?

Well my child is a Type 1 diabetic and he can't eat hardly any of the shite. He doesn't complain at all, because he has been taught that there are kids that are dying and ailing of much worse shite than not being able to eat candy and having to wear an insulin pump. Teach your kid that the world isn't fair and that it doesn't have to cater to you or your needs, you are responsible for adapting and overcoming, not the other way around.


This was the lesson my physician and parents taught me 55 yrs ago. Successful life and retirement with "zero" diabetic complications. Best wishes to your child and a successful life!!

This.

I'm sure some of the options that parent suggested are bad options for someone else's kids but that's OK.

If your kid is allergic to nuts they can trade the offending candy with their friends. If they're allergic to everything they have bigger problems than trick or treating.

Why don't these parents just go trick or treating with their kids if they're not old enough to read a label that says nuts on it?

That solves pretty much every issue.

Or each day post up a new sign surrounding this sign from a different parent with their kids' allergies or phobias until the only thing left to give out is money. Then suggest a specific amount.

I always like to keep the kids with nut allergies in mind so I buy a bag of Twix, kit kat, snickers, nestle crunch, Hershey's milk chocolate, Mr Goodbar, M&Ms, and M&M peanut so all the kids can have their choice. Of course, the next kid I have knock on my door on Halloween night will be my first in 5 years at this condo, but I want to be prepared just in case.
