[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since when do kids not eat buttered noodles once in a while...or pretty often for my fussy eater?[/quote]

There is nothing wrong with kids eating buttered noodles.  Generally when my picky kid eats a meal of just buttered noodles it’s at a meal where other things were offered and picky kid chose not to eat them.  But in this case it seems like nothing else was offered to any of the kids.  To me, that’s less than ideal.  I probably would have offered the other kids the vodka sauce, and maybe some other things like cheese to sprinkle, a glass of milk, or apple slices.  If for some reason we only had pasta and butter and enough sauce for 2 people, I probably either wouldn’t have invited someone over, or would have said something like “I am afraid our pantry is pretty bare.  We just got home from vacation and I was planning to shop this afternoon.  But we have some pasta, do you want to come enjoy it with us?”  I also wouldn’t justify serving just buttered noodles as something Italians do, because while I am sure there are busy Italian moms with picky kids who do so once in a while, in my experience Italians often serve their pasta with sauce, and also eat fruits and vegetables.

The guest mom here was very rude.  What she did was way worse than serving just buttered noodles, but I am addressing OP’s question of whether what she served is uncommon.  My answer to that yes, it’s a little uncommon.[/quote]
