Parents we are “friends” with fed our daughter fast food. Twice.

so someone helped you out and cared for your kid and fed her all weekend and you are mad ? You are a nightmare.

Just communicate w the family or any other family for the love of god for the future. Send a packed cooler w your kid if you are that rigid. Yes rigid. I will buy Chickfala but not other fast food.

So you went to a degree mill and had no high school friends who wanted to live with you? I’m sorry to hear that, dear.

Are you posting on the wrong thread? Your comment makes no sense. At least to normal rational people. If it was intended for other wackos, then my bad. Carry on.

So you come to an anonymous form to be mean to people? I'm sorry your life is that sad, "dear".

I often appreciate mean spirited snark, but the post you responded to was offensively stupid and unfunny.

I'm the person who posted about my suite mate eating Lucky Charms and it was honestly a bizarre reaction. Did you guys not have suites in your dorms? Like I had a roommate but we had 5 different rooms with shared couches and a bathroom?

She’s a state schooler who was afraid she couldn’t make friendsin college and had to room with HS friends .

It’s also weird for you to get “called out” about not having a high school friend be roommates with you in college. Like… what, that PP went to the same college her friends did? Not a very good one then, I guess.

Right. I mean, I guess if your high school friends didn't ALL get into Yale, it's another sign of your proletarian upbringing

PS proletarian means you work for a living and don't live off of ownership/investments. I'd definitely rather my kid hung out with friends whose parents gave them fast food than ones whose parents look down on working.

I can’t tell if that PP is actually OP, or if her equally insane soulmate has found the thread

Has this been confirmed as troll post? If not, warning to the OP that your friends they intentionally and with mean-spirit fed your daughter poisonous fast food… do you also reject Dominos? How about pancakes with syrup, choc chips and whipped cream? Cake and ice cream? Where has your kid been going up until now where parents only serve tofu and greens for parties?

And of course distracting from my point, which is of you're extremely restrictive on your kid's diet and don't teach them about handling sometimes foods and moderation they might just go nuts when they get outside of your control.

She calmed down and ate normally after the first month, but still had Lucky Charms almost every morning. One time she separated out the mini marshmallows from a bunch of bowls and ate a whole bowl of just marshmallows.

She was awesome but you could also tell her parents being extremely controlling did a number on her and she had to break free a bit.

I don't think I am this poster's roommate but I also had a bad Lucky Charms habit at the start of college, and am guilty of eating just the marshmallows. And, to fill out your data set, growing up we rarely ate anything not prepared at home, which was mostly a money thing but, with the benefit of hindsight, I now see that my mom was also super controlling about food. She once went through a phase where she would plate the dinner table only with small plates (not appetizer size, but somewhere between appetizer- and dinner-size) because she had read that this causes people to eat less. No one in our family was overweight (my mom is about 110 lbs at 5'3").

Eh, my parents weren’t remotely controlling and I survived on chocolate frosting, funyuns, and imitation crab meat my freshman year of college.

Hello, I published this thread. We have known this family for about a year and take turns carpooling, etc. We don’t use the poison term with them but we make it very clear we simply do not “do” fast food. No exceptions. When their daughter is with us we give her good healthy often organic food. When we dropped our daughter off on Friday we emphasized no fast food. We were nice about it but firm.

Your food at home must taste really bad if she prefers McDonald’s. You can only do the perfect diet for so long and then comes real life.

OP, I think you deserve a break today. Others may not agree with your stance, but I'm loving it. It's easy to get good food, fast. You just start with better ingredients, and make sure they're always fresh, never frozen.

If you look at it as BOTH sides wanting what's best for growing kids, whether that's quality time or quality food, then it's not really a conflict at all -- where's the beef? Granted, some PPs think that you should defer to the hosting family about food rules when your child is a guest, but I think you should stay strong and have it your way. You rule!

There are organic grocery stores everywhere, PP.

You’ve never been on a road trip? Because there certainly are not organic grocery stores “everywhere.” There are dollar stores and McDonald’s everywhere

I do road trips and the main highways have stops with McDonald’s and pizza but also have better quality places like Thai bowls or salads. There’s usually a,convenience store that carries a huge variety of snacks like mixed nuts and drinks. Maybe not down South, I haven’t traveled there.

You could try locking them in the basement so you can control what they eat. Just don’t forget they’re down there.
