How would you react to this?
We do not do fast food. We don’t judge others, but that poison is not allowed in our house. We do not want our children developing a taste for it and these parents knew that. Our daughter is friends and teammates with their daughter and stayed with them overnight last weekend. When we picked our daughter up, the first thing she asks is if we can go to Chick fil A or McDonald’s on the way home. She revealed they ate fast food twice while she was with them. And now she is already craving it. My husband was furious and immediately called the girl’s parents. We could tell by their tone that they were basically mocking us and claimed we were overreacting. We are convinced they intentionally did this to undermine us and now our daughter has a “taste” for poisonous food. |

You are over-reacting.
Also, when you agreed to have your daughter stay with them overnight, you basically agreed to whatever parenting/diet/food style they choose for their own family. Lighten up, it's one weekend. |

I would have mocked you behind your back. I guess you just need to keep her in your sight at all times. If a kid is with us, they eat what we are eating. I’m not cooking something special for them.
I’d file you in the “crazy” file at my house. |

| I hope you’re a troll. If you’re going to let your daughter out of your presence you cannot control every bit of food that she eats while you’re separated. |

| They were mocking and you are overreacting. That’s the only thing you are right about! |

is this a troll? Tell me this can't be a serious post.
I could understand if there was food allergies involved, but two ff meals is not going to hurt your kid. And your strict parenting is going to make your kid rebel as they get older. -parent of older teenagers |

Sounds like DD is going to prefer their house to yours going forward.
Keep trying to keep that iron grip on her though!! I'm sure it will bring you closer together! |

Before you send your kid to someone's house, tell them you see all fast food as poison, and that you forbid your child to eat it. See how fast they retract the invitation.
I'm not a huge fan of fast food, and I was pretty careful and possibly even controlling of how my kids ate when they were young. If you are not a troll, then you should now realize that you are an extreme outlier in your food restrictions for your child, and you should feed your own child rather than forcing those restrictions on other families. |

I hope this is a troll. You do not judge but, your whole post is a judgement. Congrats on creating a future adult who is going to eat at fast food places morning, noon and night. Yes you overreacted. And now everyone knows. They didn't serve alcohol or crack cocaine. Get a grip and find a new troll. I find it hard to believe your dd asked for it knowing you are so opposed. I would have kept that a secret to my grave. |

| OP, this would have been slightly more believable if you’d made the antagonist your MIL instead of your “friends.” |

| She’s clearly tainted goods now. Just put her up for adoption. Don’t tell potential families she’s got a taste for poison unless they ask. |

| They "know" as in you made an offhand remark about it once? Or directly discussed with them that if they take her you don't want her to eat fast food? If they directly agreed and then did it anyway, they are wrong, but guessing thats not what happened. |

| Ugh. Friends like that are THE WORST. Our friends fed our kids nightshades, and then they started asking Santa for eggplants. So embarrassing. |
