My husband and I have an 18 month old son who is allergic to peanuts. How do I get our extended family to understand the severity of his allergy without hurting anyone's feelings? They all try to feed him and offer him fluids of different things w/out first having knowledge of the products ingredients, etc. We had it set that no one is to feed him but us, but at our sister's wedding everyone seemed to forget or ignore this. No one acts like they understand he could die from a reaction. Our Grandmother said she could pick noodles (w/unknown ingredients) out of a salad for him to eat. I was blown away for, I have told her many times of cross contamination. I am now terrified to ever leave him in anyone else's care. Please help

You need to ask them if they want him to die, because they can kill him feeding him the wrong food...Who cares if they get angry and you hurt their feelings, this is life or death...
