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

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 sound insane and i think you are a troll- but i'll bite.

you should teach your child the verbiage you want her to use when she is offered food that is off limits for her. i do think with children who have allergies. it is totally unrealistic to expect other parents to enforce your very specific food preferences in the context of their own home. your child will have to learn how to navigate those situations, if you really insist on such an "all or nothing" mentality about food.

yikes!

If this is serious, you probably shouldn't let your kids socialize or attend school, as this will come up again and again. Good luck.

You. Are. Clinically. Insane. Jesus. Christ. Your. Children. Should. Be. Removed. From. Your. House.

WTAF.

Or is this just bad trolling?

It is absolutely foul and disgusting of OP to refer to any food as "poison."

It's not going to kill her, you dumbass shit-for-brains.

Were you born stupid or is this a learned affliction?

[Anonymous]

What's wrong with some fast food? You think they should take her to a fancy restaurant every meal?

Rethink our relationship to food. If your child isn't dead from eating it, it's not poisonous. Have a healthier framework for good foods and fun foods that works for you and your kid. Then she can make her own good food choices.

OP, I can relate except for the fact I'm the exact opposite. My kids know it's dinnertime when we hop in the minivan at 6 PM and head to whatever drive-thru they clamor for. And on the way to school, we hit McDonalds for Egg McMuffins and Cokes. I do pack them Lunchables, Cheez Puffs and Twinkies for lunch.

Recently my DD went to a "healthy" family's house for dinner. She ate her first ever vegetable and now wants salad, salad, salad every day! I'm not sure how to proceed, other than prohibiting her from visiting that friend again.

I too assume this is a troll.On the off chance it isn't, the time to voice any restrictions was when the overnight was planned. You don't wait until you drop the kid off. What the parent has to scrap her meal plan and run to the grocery store to buy acceptable food? If you raised it earlier, the parents could say that won't work for us and withdraw the invitation.

Sue them for negligence. Lolcats

Plan her funeral now. She will die of cancer. The Horror! End the friendship now.

Go find people who will never eat fast food.

I don’t want to be your friend, sorry.

[Anonymous]

Seriously, how old is the kid OP?

[Anonymous]

I’m curious as to what people do who travel without ever buying fast food.

4/10 troll attempt. Points deducted for hyperbole. Topic is a bit overdone but workable in more capable hands. This could have been imporoved with more backstory, or the old "bury the lede" technique.

If you're going to do a rating scale can you give me an example of 10/10 trolling and 1/10 trolling?

A good troll post would pick a topic where opinions are roughly evenly divided. Nobody thinks a Happy Meal is poison. A good troll post also slow drips extra tidbits of info that are even more controversial or bizarre. I think the recent mom clique thread that got to 50+ pages was a good one. It wasn't obvious at first that it was trolling, but now I'm pretty sure it was.
