Whether it's a special needs kid or not, they all have "issues" and need to learn to deal with the world. Mommy can't (and shouldn't) be there all the time to watch over them. How will they ever learn? My son's friend comes over to play and brings his epi pen. He's allergic to dogs. We have a large shedding dog. He's deathly allergic to peanut butter. We LOVE peanut butter. He's allergic to pollen. We live in a forest of pine trees. Yet he comes . . . and he tells me what to do if he has a reaction . . . and he tells me how to use the epi pen . . . and he tells me politely whether he can eat what I'm serving . . . oh, and he's 4.<BR/><BR/>So I'm with you on this one . . . totally. Take the kittens to school! :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-23710032363505481862009-03-08T23:29:00.000-04:002009-03-08T23:29:00.000-04:00P.S.

My son used to be very allergic to cats, and had to use his inhaler prophylactically if he were going to be around someone who had cat dander on his/her clothes. So I looked a little nuts, asking questions. And another friend had a child who was terribly allergic to dogs - a dog ran up to him at the beach and licked him and the poor kid broke out in hives. So she looked a little crazy when she was at a park or whatever and was trying to protect her kid from loose dogs.<BR/><BR/>Moms of allergic kids have to be crazy - it's our job. Years ago, when these things weren't as common, it was so hard - people all acted as though I were overprotective, when I would have given anything to be able to leave my little kid at a friend's house without interrogating the parents.Suburban Correspondenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11488916572135296650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7494202605629550918.post-75784811999931653242009-03-05T23:26:00.000-05:002009-03-05T23:26:00.000-05:00Oh, wow, so sorry you have to deal with this.
