[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't read every single replay, but I'm with the OP. The way I was raised, the kids were borderline rude and certainly entitled.
 
 My mom taught me that at friends' houses/out with friends, if their parents offered a snack, you could say, Yes please or No thank you. You could not ASK for a snack, and you could not ask for different items than what was offered.  I tell my kids the same: you may graciously accept or say no thanks. You are someone's guest. If you want different snack options, talk to me at home when you're not someone's guest.

I may be mean and out of touch, but I'm not losing sleep over it.

This is how I was raised and it's how we have raised our kids.[/quote]

I am a PP with a child with food intolerances. I am genuinely curious if you would be upset if you offered my kid nachos and she asked to have plain chips since she should not eat the cheese. Honestly I’m blown away by how ridge some of you are.

I also think it is different to ask for a specific snack at someone’s house where there might be limited quantities or you have already made something specific as opposed to clicking a different button on an app. I would be upset if my child asked for a pastry when one wasn’t offered (I don’t think they would) but I would not blink if one of my children’a friends did. It’s not hard to say I’m just buying drinks right now or just buying all the girls a small snack if they are hungry. Either would be fine with me depending on if it was right before a meal or something. I literally cannot imagine thinking about it twice let alone going online to vent about how rude it was.
