This will sound sort of strange!
So since I've become "that mom" - the one that's always watching my kid like a hawk, trying to make sure he stays away from allergens and everything, I'm worried that I'm coming off as too much of a drama queen. We had to leave a mom's group today that was hosted at a friend's house, and I was so stressed out because he broke out in itchy hive-splotches that swelled up his face (he was around a dog, and he's allergic), and we had to keep him away from Honey Nut Cheerios (he's not allergic to tree nuts, just peanuts, but I wanted to make sure), but he grabbed a fistful of them anyway (but we got them away before he ate any). So we left early and got him an anti-histamine dose and put him in the tub, and I was just super stressed out because of having to make sure he was okay.
But I'm worried that I'm coming off as too over the top, and I guess I wanted to know if I was alone in this. I know 100% that my kid comes first, and if he's having a reaction that it's time to get him away from whatever is causing it ASAP and treating it as needed, but I'm worried that other people who don't have to deal with it will think I'm over reacting. Is this normal? Please tell me I'm normal, haha.
