[quote=Anonymous]I have to smile with the wisdom of age - both families sound to me like parents of young children - each inflexible in their own way without realizing it. Op, I think it is reasonable for you to ask for only one kitchen to be GF. But, I also think it would be easier than you realize for your kids to eat GF for a week - it is hard for you to imagine because you haven't done it, but there are so many GF substitutes for what you name as kid-friendly foods, like chicken nuggets (half the time I accidentally buy GF nuggets because you cant trip without hitting some in the store), GF cereals (most of the chex cereals, and lots of sugary ones if that is your thing), Vans GF waffles and pancakes - all of these are sold at Target. Also rice, potato chips and french fries are naturally GF - most kids like those - pair with with a hot dog and that is a classic american kid friendly meal.  But it will not starve your kids for them to eat grilled chicken strips instead of chicken nuggets for 5 days. What if you travelled to another country? Not too likely you'd get chicken nuggets and pizza on the menu. Kids adapt, usually better than adults ...[/quote]
