Allergy advice

Dearest Carol, refuser of advice
Allergy schmallergy. Back in my day kids ate what they were given, no such thing as an allergy. Definitely hadn’t heard of any allergies before vaccines were invented 🤷‍♀️

But if you’re that determined to pander to your little snowflake then banana works too.

Wow that’s impressive! I am very happy for him. I am unaware of whether or not my grandson is on one of these so called ladder schemes. I will make sure to bring it up next time i am talking with my daughter as this may be very helpful, however I am unsure if this will be appropriate for him as he has more than just a ‘slight’ allergy, he is very very intolerant.

Haha Stephanie Brigantine, you seem funny. I do agree a little bit of chocolate would hurt but I do not wish to disregard her wishes as we have had a rocky relationship in the past 🙈. However my grandson is DEATHLY allergic to eggs and so I would not even ponder trying to sneak some of those in!!

Why don’t you ask her for a recipe you can use that satisfies the parameters you are expected to work within.
That way you can’t be accused of any wrongdoing.

agree with this.
i think we would all be healthier if we avoided sugary things, and it's commendable that your daughter is taking steps to curb sugar addiction in her children.
those peddling it care only for their profits, not the future health of children.

Has the egg allergic child been referred to allergy specialists at hospital. My allergic grandchild was placed on what is known as the egg ladder, a treatment programme that gradually desensitizes the child. He is now able to eat things containing eggs and even eggs themselves without problem. He has now started a similar programme for his nut problem.

I wouldn’t worry too much about allergies, I think parents these days are far too concerned with what you can/can’t eat and can/can’t say. A bit of egg or chocolate won’t hurt her. If anything it sounds like Alice is just being a prude again. They may be her kids but they are your grandkids.
All the best, Stephanie Brigantine

Thank you very much, after doing this i have disordered I can use bananas an an egg substitute, who knew!? I think that’s brilliant. I will be using more vegan recipes to find substitutes in the future, Thanks again, Carol 😁

Ooo yummy raisins! I’m sure they will enjoy that thank you!

My grandchildren always enjoyed raisins in their cookies.

I'd suggest you Google vegan cookie recipes, that will give you substitutes for both eggs and chocolate.

I agree that it is very peculiar. My daughter has been against fast foods and sugary foods most of her life 🤷🏼‍♀️ . I have spoken to the children and they say the only times they have been permitted chocolate is at school which my daughter had a fit at the teacher for. As for dark chocolate, the children have told me that they are permitted to have dark chocolate at special events such birthday paries, Christmas etc.

That’s quite odd coming from your daughter? Have you heard anything about this from your grandchildren? Are they permitted to eat chocolate? Maybe ask her if dark chocolate is a suitable alternative.
