[quote=Anonymous]First, I love you for your choice of names. Second, yes, the mother sounds deranged. In all my years of distributing party favors (my kids are now teens and young adults), no parent ever complained when an extra sibling did not receive a favor. They were just grateful that the extra sibling had been included! Third, if this parent requested special food, that is on par with the rest of her conduct. My son is anaphylactically allergic to nuts, and I never expected the hosts to provide special food for him. If necessary, I brought stuff for him. When I've been a host, I've always asked if guests had special dietary needs and done my best to accommodate them, but parents never asked me to do that. And some came with their own food. I think there was nothing you could have said to make it better, or to make this parent understand her transgression. Do your best to forget about it.[/quote]
