[QUOTE="Josie, post: 31028, member: 1792"] To me, the planning is the worst part. So much of my time is spent figuring out what we/difficult child will eat in those situations. Personally, I would not like to go to a party where I had nothing safe to eat. I would bring something that I liked even if it wasn't the same as every one else. It is boring for me to watch everyone else eat and I am an adult. I think it is a lot to ask of our kids to do that without either cheating or resenting the whole diet which eventually leads to cheating. I would send both of my kids with their own cupcake and depending on the situation, their own pizza and/or hotdog if they could heat it up, or if no microwave was available, some potato chips or popcorn. I would feed them before or after if I needed to but let them have "junky" safe food at the party. I do not worry so much about nutrition for parties because, let's face it, if they were on a normal diet, they wouldn't be eating nutritiously at a party. I would send enough potato chips or popcorn that they could share but not enough to take over the whole party. What kind of diet is your difficult child on? Maybe I can help you with ideas. I'm pretty familiar with gluten, casein, soy, and peanut allergies. Somewhat with egg allergies. [/QUOTE]
