"I played the situation, and at no point were we told explicitly not to bring any allergens to any of the events. We saw this with Hugo. They are supposed to be labeled properly (which makes perfect sense, Hugo's issue was that he didn't label his products properly because he used storebought and pretended it was coconut). And the products were labeled."

This isn't true. In Chapter 4, the MC explicitly mentioned that she sent allergen and dietary restrictions guidelines with the bake sale instructions, so clearly that counts as "telling them not to bring any allergens explicitly"..... Hugo's response for "Um... yes? I believe I... did that..." strongly suggests that he was lying, so how is MC to blame here? The kid asked Hugo if soy was added, and he told her no. As a child, she would most likely be naive and trusting towards adults, so she had no reason to think that Hugo was lying. Same goes for the Guy situation. The parent would be responsible for her well-being, and she's only 9. How do you blame a 9-year-old for trusting that her dad made sure of the allergen restrictions? She may be brilliant for her age, but that doesn't mean she can take care of herself. An online article states that at nine, children are still greatly influenced by their parents and still seek refuge with their parents. MC has always showed due care towards her child and I honestly don't see how she is a bad mother, and how you can push away the blame of Guy.
