Tween guest wasted all the food we bought him. Would you be offended by his mom's pretentious remark?

I did not point it out to him or to his mother in front of him.

Well you obviously talked to his mom about it so that was rude!

I doubt he happily eats shake shack either. Except a shake, maybe. My kid will eat those but if anything is different about it at all or the flavor isn’t what he expects he won’t eat that either. When we were in Italy he rejected half the gelato he ordered because it wasn’t what he thought it would be! Luckily by this time I just eat his food instead of ordering my own because he never eats restaurant food more than a few bites. He hates being this way too, but it gags him.

We let the kids choose the two places. Pretty sure he had eaten Panera before because he asked for a particular sandwich. And at McDonald’s he was very specific about a cheeseburger meal, with just cheese and ketchup, fries and Dr Pepper.

Why couldn't he have had the decency to say, "I'm not very hungry now, but will take this home and eat it later." And then proceed to take it into his house and toss it. Or give it to his Dad who would probably scarf it down.

Today, a meal at McD's and Panera's isn't cheap.

And I don't even know how to respond to the we don't do McD's but Shake Shack. Whatever.

Give it to his dad? My DH wouldn’t have probably eaten it on the way home. Ha.

If he ordered it it implies he is hungry, but not eating it and lying about not being hungry makes that super weird. Not sure why you can’t see how weird it would be, he did.

Yea, if he ordered food, it implies hunger. But, then, decided to ball it up regardless if hungry or not, is just wasteful. IDK, maybe it's just how I was raised, but I would have not been a good thing if my parents found out that I was getting food bought for me and then balling it up and wasting it and not bringing it home for someone else in my family to have. This is coming from a kid that only ever went out to eat on pretty special occasions - heck, getting the Book It certificates for a free personal pan pizza at Pizza Hut was a huge deal.

Kid was rude and I would not buy him anything anymore.

I notice people who post here take everything said to or in front of them the worst way possible. I would just assume he doesn't much like McDonalds and she's letting you know he will eat Shake Shack for the future. In the future I'd tell him "Please don't get food you won't eat, just tell us something similar you'd like instead so we don't waste like last time."

[Anonymous]

I’d probably be irked too OP if I spent my money on food for kid that didn’t want it.
I don’t get the SS comment at all so no idea what that was about. We don’t usually eat McDonald’s either bit my kid would eat a sim chicken sandwich and fries if that’s where a friends mom offered to get food.

WTF, you think he should have saved it and given his family cold McDs??? that's not even safe from a food perspective!

You are absolutely absurd. Just FYI.

Agree with everyone saying you were rude and weird to monitor him balling up what he didn't eat. Everything else flowed from that bizarre and inappropriate action.

Poor kid. I’d feel bad that he felt bad enough that was trying to hide it from me.
Then you tell his mom.
Then you tell hundreds of strangers on the internet.
Practice kindness, OP.
