"The sad truth, people don't understand food allergies. In the last month I have heard from parents who are still struggling at school, teachers or other parents roll their eyes when requests are made. Hand washing after eating doesn't happen as it's too much work for some schools to implement. Children being bullied, even parents are confronted at school pick up by other parents. I will never apologise for protecting my child, he can't stand up to adults. He can't fight for ... his EpiPens to be in his classroom, not in an office that is 10 minutes away. He can't fight the teacher that brought his allergen into the classroom, gave it to all his classmates and excluded him. He can't fight the teacher who told me that the after school snack was safe, it was just honey and butter when he has a milk allergy. We can't change that our children have allergies, but the community can change, and become educated and empathetic towards life-threatening allergies" June Bridals plus size formal wears for maternity brides # ourtruth
