[quote=Anonymous]She must be really stressed, or she's just kind of a crap parent. Because I have a picky eater and it is EASIER to pack food for her to take somewhere than to try and give someone instructions on what she'll eat and hope they get it right. Even if I said "she'll always eat peanut butter and jelly," the truth is that she will even reject that if the bread is too dark or they try to serve her natural peanut butter or grape jelly.

My kid has never gone to someone else's house for any reason without a lunchbox with food for her in it that I know she'll eat. She's gotten a little less picky in the last year or so, but I still send it "in case of emergencies" because I don't want anyone dealing with my hangry kid, and I also don't want my kid sitting their starving because the food doesn't look or taste right to her.

But I guess if I had a sick parent and was super stressed and panicking, maybe I'd... nope, I'd still pack my kid food because, again, trying to explain to someone what my kid will and won't eat would be MORE stressful than just going to the grocery store on Sunday night and packing snacks for my kid.[/quote]
