[quote=Anonymous]I love everything about my extended family visiting, except meal time. I make family friendly meals: shrimp stew, linguine with olive oil, whole grain bread, pulled pork, steak tenderloin, salmon, chicken, and always something green. Nothing spicy, no unusual ingredients and my 7 yr old DS eats it all. However, our guest's children rarely eat my food and I sometimes wonder if I should ignore our family's meal culture and accommodate their habits of chicken nuggets, Mac & Cheese, hot dogs, pizza, etc. This past visit, when the parents asked what they could bring, I told them what I was serving and said, "if your kiddies won't eat that, bring whatever you like for them." So, they brought their own boxed Kraft Mac & Cheese and that's what the five kids ate, except for my son, because I'd had a private conversation with him saying, "you eat what we serve." It was an all around awkward situation. How would you handle this situation? [/quote]
