to give school a list of foods/additives etc. which ds cannot eat at the class christmas party?

[tispity]

the other alternative would be to keep him off that day. he is not allergic as such, but it turns him into a little devil. i feel strongly that it makes no sense to let him eat everything one day a year while carefully controlling his diet for the remaining 364 days. i would even be willing to provide a selection of food for ds and others on his table. i don't know whether the mere suggestion would offend them as they are rushed off their feet this week and the oher parents don't appear bothered (especially those sending in haribos and value cola!).

sounds great! just what I've been looking for for MIL's christmas present- can I find that on Amazon, hullygully?

or do you maybe self publish and sell out the back of a van at boot fairs around the south east?

no i'm now sure hully is actually a bloke who flogs stuff at my local street market (i recognise some of the lines)

The south east Citizen? Are you trying to sneer perchance? No, you can't get it on Amazon. It's by personal recommendation only. There is a small examination before prospective purchasers are allowed near it.

PissTittty

So nearly rumbled, and yet so far.

emoticon: yawn. there is a more interesting AIBU thread running about a certain book. this one has run it's course i'm afraid

I am not a sneererer

...mind you if I was I would be over on the thread where from what I can gather bullying ginger children is aparently on a par with the McCarthy Witchhunts

Citizen, I retract my remark.

Have you any interst in fighting the dark forces in a bronte-esque manner? We have need.

On the subject of walnuts - eating Walnuts is evil they look like the brains of fairies and as such are sacred. They should be left to fall from the tree in peace.

Other than that I always follow Hullys eat from the tree rule.

Look, Miss Minty - I am trying to recruit.

this has gone from giggle and poke the troll to yawnathon

"PissTittty"??? more golden showers, less golden wonder - i'll drink to that!!

You may try but you will never defeat me I am pure evil in my departed form.

Minty - that looks more than slightly odd on this thread....

Sorry I will try to contain myself and not be a yawn inducing nut case.

...was that the one with claret on the carpet, Hully?

I wandered in there quite by accident but was repelled by the bloodshed and had to sniff some sal volatile

[vegan emoticon]

...where was it again?

I was straightfaced and doing well until tipsytitty. Then I lost it...

Citizen, there was some spillage by the ha ha, do you mean that?

Ah, I am sorrowed by your fainted -heartedness, but no matter, I must away to my couch to sleep off th estirrup cup so liberally imbibed against all nutritionalistic advice.

Brilliant!

I did enjoy this. Good work

Ah yes, of course, the ha ha!

Of course. how could I forget. Tis all coming back to me as if through an opiate haze...

...oh hold on, have left telly on

Just to come to the party late....OP, are you genuine, or just a genuine nut-job??? I have a child with a severe gluten intolerance, that even a small slip can cause internal bleeding and severe pain. For his class party, I provide a selection of GF party food (including haribo's I might add), and ALSO I take in something on the normal 'provide for party' list, as his school yr only has 30 kids in, so needs all contributions. If my SEN 6yo knows that his brother can't eat gluten, and has done since 5.5yo, I see no reason why an NT child of that age can't know what he is 'allowed' to eat or not, My friends daughter is severely lactose intolerant, and has been able to let people know from her very 1st day in reception. I feel that while I don't allow any fizzy drinks in the house, or MSG (gluten intolerance, in DS1, and the MSG is a neurotoxin that badly affects mine and my daughter's epilepsy) , I feel that once in a while, if there will be no medical side effects, i.e. for DD & DS2, that msg at a party is up to them, and fizzy at a party is expected. RELAX and understand that if you separate your DC like this for no good reason, you are setting yourself up for a fall when he has to take responsibility for choosing his own food at secondary. A party is a chance to be 'outside the norm', and if children aren't allowed to eat rubbish at least once in a while, then it's not a normal childhood. Get a hobby or something, you're obsessing too much!
