"Has it become unacceptable to eat peanut butter in public?" she asked other parents. "DD [darling daughter] was eating a peanut butter and jam sandwich at a store today, and a woman stopped me to lecture me about peanut allergies."
However, the post has since received nearly 600 responses and started a huge debate online.
"That's really inconsiderate," responded one mother. "So many kids have life-threatening allergies to peanut butter. Eating it in a shopping cart guarantees it will be smeared on the handle, etc. "It's really awful you would do this. Sorry, but imagine if it were your child with the allergy."Many parents shared that view, however, there were others who felt it wasn't right for the woman to approach the mother.
"I don't think you should have listened to the lady in Target," read another comment. "People have way too much nerve to approach a total stranger and give advice. People like that have nothing better to do."
