An Interview with the non food allergy child for FAAW

Mom: How do you feel about your brother's food allergies?

Older Son: Mad.

Why do you feel mad?

I don't know.

What do you want other's to know about your brother's food allergies?

People don't touch him or feed him the things he's allergic too.

Do you ever get scared for your brother?

Not really.

Does it bother you that he has food allergies?

Kind of.

Why?

He might have an allergic reaction.

What whould you do if you saw him having an allergic reaction?

Tell mom or dad.

How does your brother's food allergies affect you?

I can't eat certain foods.

Does that bother you?

Not really...kind of.

What do you want to eat that you can't?

Brownies, cookies, different kinds of chips than what we already buy, McDonald's

Do you ever wish that your brother didn't have food allergies?

Yes.

Why?

So he can eat more stuff than just gluten free toast (for the record, he CAN eat more stuff than gluten free toast, but I think he means so he can eat whatever he wants to eat).

Do you ever see anyone at school pick on your brother about his food allergies?

No.

What would you do if you did?

Tell one of the teachers and you.

Was Freud there when you wrote? "How do you feel about your 'bothers' food allergies?" I'm chuckling because I could definitely see a brother saying that.

Now, I must press on and read the post! :)

No, but we were pressed from time and running out the door for T-ball. Thanks for the catch :)
