Day 128: "Ignorance Isn't Bliss...it's Avoidable"

Today on FB this was my status:

It's astonishing how many people are so ignorant.

See this article: 10 Things Never to Say to a Parent of a Kid with Food Allergies

There are many ignorant folks out there...and it sucks. But despite those, there are also those who care so deeply for my child and his LIFE that go above and beyond to make sure he's safe. Many of my family and close friends are always asking what's safe and what's not for Owen to have. Those people are the ones that make managing his allergies a little less stressful...I can only hope that we'll face less of these rude comments and judgements when he starts school and other activities! It's my job to keep all my kids safe, and being a Stay at Home Mom it's a little easier to do now. I hope and pray to have a great support system when he starts school, since his safety will be in their hands, I can't deny that I'm a little more than anxious about all that is to come.

"Hmm...it's me, Owen!"
(I'm worth educating yourself a little more about food allergies, right?)
