Nursery incompetence!

[MissB83]

This is more of a WWYD but also an AIBU (am I overreacting?!)

My son has a nasty intolerance to fish - I realised a few of months ago as he would get a bit off colour and then start projectile vomiting a few hours after he had it. He's 1. When he started nursery I told the manager verbally about this and noted it on his form.

After day one I asked what the kids had eaten and the manager said "fish and rice". When I checked this she said "oh no he didn't have fish". So I took the opportunity to remind about no fish.

Tonight my DS seemed peaky and looked a bit off colour then started throwing up just before bedtime. As he threw up all over me I could see it contained big lumps of - salmon!

I am extremely cross and also worried because the nursery clearly haven't followed my instructions, what if it were a food allergy? It's nasty enough that they've made him feel poorly for no reason.

He's due to go back in tomorrow morning- apart from strong words with the manager and asking about their policies/procedures on food handling, what should I do?

Could he have got his own clothes dirty and been put in nursery spares and then got them dirty himself? Rather than them being put on him dirty?

The bib was put on him but it wasn't his. They said it was just to eat with but he was supplied with bibs for eating.

The vest was just weird because he arrived home with the same vest he went to nursery in and yet they also gave my mum this other vest in a bag. Bizarre.

You are dealing with this fine and are quite right to stress the difference between and allergy and an intolerance. Can I just pick a little with terminology? Projectile vomiting is a medical term and actually pretty rare unless a child has pyloric stenosis. We all know that a big vomit can go a very long way. Projectile is something else and hits the wall across the room,

Confusedbeetle ouch, no it's not that!

The GP said that there wasn't much to be gained from a referral with just tummy symptoms as the blood tests wouldn't show much? She said just to wait and see and avoid the foods which are problematic for the moment. I won't take it further for now as I am not one of those people who prefers my opinion to the doctor's!

If I'm getting shit stained clothes coming home from primary school then I'd be a bit worried?!

Now you are being facetous and a little rude. Lost property and kids coming home with someone else's clothes, in primary school, is very common.

Kitty the problem wasn't with the clothes, it was that they were covered in faeces!
