to warn parents about lollies in party bags?

[RosieandJim89]

We went to two parties today, both for children under 5 and at preschool together. Some mums from the first were at the second. As is common practice the party bags had a lolly, stickers, small toy and cake. After the first, and on the way to the second, DD asked for one of the lollies. As I took it out the bag I noticed it was one of those with a bubblegum centre. DD is only 3.5yrs so I put it aside. At the second party a few mums from the first were there and I mentioned that DD's lolly had bubblegum in it and they may want to check theirs incase they did too. Both have children similar age to DD and one was very grateful I had pointed it out and a little cross they had been given. I said that it was probably un-noticed by the host but the second mum spoke as though I was in the wrong to even bring this up.
Was I? I would want someone to warn me before I gave my preschool child one but perhaps I ABU?

I agree with inlovewithhubby. I have 3 dd and they have all managed to eat without me hovering above them making sure they can cope. Teach them to sit and eat mindfully and they are fine

Mischa - Thing is I feel certain that the 6 year old whom I mentioned was sitting down to eat school lunch too.
My feeling is that yes the incidence of this sort of thing is low & some parents feel more comfortable accepting that level of risk . For others they wish to reduce that risk further for a little longer by cutting grapes or whatever and we should respect that without being judgemental just as they should accept that other parents are content with accepting a certain level of risk and should not be labelled irresponsible.

I remove all crap from party bags as we leave the party

Wouldn't it be more polite to wait until you've left?
