Why I now despise potlucks...

First of all, with three young kids, potlucks are kind of a pain anyhow. I don't mean your typical 4 family potluck, I mean the large gathering, organizational potluck. For whatever reason, there have been a lot of them lately and it causes me enough anxiety that I just don't go. There was a recent PTA potluck event that I felt I could not avoid, so we fed the kids at home before the meeting. That worked well because when there are a jillion other kids around, they don't want to stop to eat anyhow.
Let me also state, because we have to medicate K before she eats carbohydrates, meals in general are arduous for us. What is she really going to eat?? So, potlucks are one level beyond that because we do not control the food there, do not know the ingredients, it's always chaotic (the general drawback to large potlucks) - and like other public outings, I don't really like medicating her (ie insulin SHOT) in public. Yes, I've wrestled with her on the floor of public bathrooms to make that happen, but as that image makes clear, it's just not ideal...
