[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 3 year old loves cake, but she only eats the frosting and cream part no matter if it is muffin, birthday cake at party, cupcake or cake roll. She does not eat the cake part itself. She does that at home and at other parties/other home.

I often have to use a fork to try to feed her at least 1-3 bites of cake, otherwise, it is a waste of food and impolite. Would you do anything or would you let her be if you have a child like that?[/quote]

it's not a waste of food. It's not impolite. The cake isn't otherwise going to a food bank for the hungry.

What is impolite is forcing the DC to eat the part of the cake she doesn't want. "DAMMIT! You WILL eat this and you WILL LIKE IT! And you WILL say THANK YOU!"

If you are super concerned about the uneaten portion, I suggest any of the following:
- Eating it yourself.
[b]- Telling the host "Larla won't eat the cake part. Just give her frosting.[/b]

Problem solved.

This part is rude. The host is not a short order cook order cook/server. Why doesn't Larla just go without anything[/quote]

Agree it’s very rude. Just take a slice like everyone else, eat the frosting, and toss the cake. [/quote]

But OP is freaking out that Larla is wasting the cake part, so Larla is still wasting the cake part. This is one way to prevent "waste". (Which, throwing out uneaten cake isn't wasteful. OP is being thick on what is completely normal for kids.)
