Not sure if I’m over reacting

Daughter has some allergies, I’ve have stated I do not want her medicated unnecessarily. I’ve read bits and pieces about the effects and I’m also a strong believer of not putting meds in my kids. (Unless truly needed) kids dad took them to his house (I’ve said not to due to allergies, pet, dust) and he medicated her before going. I’ve taken advice from her doctor who has said meds for a flair but wouldn’t recommend giving unnecessarily, and to keep away from places that could cause a flair where possible (I take that as unavoidable situations I.e the pollen factor and dust) . Weather was wet that morning but dry in the afternoon they went to his am and soft play indoors pm....am I wrong to be furious he did this when I’ve made it utterly clear he is not to take her to his or medicate her. To add we had cats until her allergy was diagnosed, I rehomed for her benefit) I’ve never medicated for allergies as we do not need to with preventative measures.

Try to look at it as you would sun cream. Sun cream contains chemicals etc but if he was taking your daughter to the beach on a sunny day, would you not want him to put sun cream on her as a preventative measure against sun burn?

It’s a similar narrative.

So why isn’t she allowed at his? Does he own 10 cats or something mental? Is it just dust.. cause the soft play could flair that up, as could a museum, library or church.. I looked like I needed an exorcism for our schools Christmas service.

Ds has multiple allergies and we’ve been told if we think he’s been exposed to medicate quickly as he’s too small to tell us he’s reacting and if it’s affecting breathing etc.. flair ups are a pain the in arse even at my age and obviously children don’t have the same understanding that the medication will help eventually. Would you rather he brought her back with a flair up? Depending on her reaction it could be bloody dangerous if she still sleeps in the car etc.

Pet dander takes two to five years to be removed from the home unless you refinish and get new carpets. You are being ridiculous I have severe allergies and even the mild ones need medicating when I'm exposed. Hes her dad hes doing exactly the right thing.

Yabu, he is her parent too and allowed to have his beliefs. You do sound as if you want to control/stop his contact.

This isn’t about allergy meds. It’s about your antagonism towards her father.
