[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are all the replies in this thread the other kid's mom or something? I probably wouldn't have bothered to bring it up but I understand why OP did and as long as it wasn't in front of the kid don't think it's that rude.

I think ordering once and realizing he wasn't hungry could be forgiven but twice in one day is strange. He's not a toddler.[/quote]

I think the mom’s response was rude- or was somehow trying to be funny and missed the mark. But some people are socially awkward.

Kids can be weird and I notice a lot of them, even at that age, are nervous or shy when around other kids’ parents. Some of my kids’ friends were and I tried to just be understanding. It could be he really wasn’t hungry but didn’t want to say so, or normally would order x but since his friend was ordering y he thought he should also (seems like something my own kids would’ve done at that age). And then maybe didn’t like it. Or maybe he had an upset stomach and didn’t want to say. It could be anything, really. He is 11. Many kids that age are still shy or awkward with adults they don’t know well.

It isn’t anything I would take personally.  [/quote]
