I have taken extreme measures to be sure she is safe. However, I do need the help of school too. If you don't think others should help each other in this, then I suppose you don't need the fire department to help you when you have a fire, or the police department, or an ambulance to help you out either. After all, your problems are YOUR problems with that kind of thinking, right? Everything should be YOUR own responsibility and no one needs to help you either, right? You should thank your lucky stars that you don't need any kind of help. I hope you never know what it feels like to worry about something as simple as food killing your child! I hope you never have to worry about it for yourself either. People born with these problems didn't ask for them. You haven't even looked for alternatives to the problem. That's because it doesn't affect you. There are alternatives, you know. It doesn't have to be your way or the highway! We should all work together on safe compromises instead of arguing with each other. I'm certainly willing to be flexible as long as the kids are safe. I'm afraid you would never understand unless it happened to you or your family. Of course, I don't wish that on anyone, so you'll just never, ever understand. How sad! If only you could try to be sensitive to other people. You could learn something from the 4 year old who didn't eat the candy! Name: Email: Subject
