Babysitters

Kids with food allergies and babysitters are a tricky thing.  There's the sitters who take the time to listen and pay attention to what the kids are eating.  Then there's some that think they know.  I usually prep all the meals so that all they need to do is heat it up.  Easy, simple, fool proof.  I will place their snacks in a bowl and have them ready. 

Last night, I left hot dogs and brown rice in the fridge ready for them to cook and place on a plate.  Well they decided to feed the kids Zatarans Jumbalaya that was in there for my husbands lunch.  This is why I have trouble leaving my kids and trusting that they will be ok.  That they will be fed food that won't hurt them or cause them pain.  I wish I could go back and just take the 5 minutes plate the food like I normally do.  Today my boys have barely eaten,  has stomach pains, and been grumpy.  They are the ones that suffer and have to deal with the mistake.  Lesson learned.
