[quote=Anonymous]I think DCUM is conflating two issues. First, should the 12 year old be polite and eat what is offered without complaint? Yes, of course he should. Second, should (step)grandma go out of her way to give him what he likes? People are reacting to the fact that grandmas are usually very lenient and like to spoil the kids. When OP highlights that this is just a step relationship and her insistence on doing nothing different for the kid makes us think she just doesn't like him and her attitude will probably show itself in lots of ways. I don't think anyone would comment at all if it were a parent saying that the kid must eat what is served without complaint - that is tried and true - but it's different to hear about this rigid adherance to an unpopular menu when it is coming from a grandma about a short time period that is (presumably) supposed to be enjoyable for the kid.[/quote]
