[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Celebrate you will no longer have to put up with that craziness.  I am married to a picky eater.  He would not have eaten the vegetable casserole either.  But here is the issue we run into.  My DH would also be perfectly content to sit at the table and talk to everyone else while they ate.  This is also never "allowed" by a host.  The host will always make a big deal about finding something for him to eat.  This will of course embarrass my dh which means the next time there is an event he will not want to go. I don't do the short order cook thing for our family but I will always make sure there are "plain" options.  So if we are having pasta the sauce is on the side. We will have a roast with vegetables but not a stew where everything is mixed together. Casseroles will not happen ever.  Your friend is crazy to make a casserole as the main dish and expect everyone to eat it. [/quote]

His rudeness is so over the top that they don’t know how to respond. There’s simply no manual for the right way to handle it when you invite adults over and a child and his enabling Mummy show up.[/quote]
You really have some issues to even be able to see the described behavior as "over the top rudeness". Imagine getting so upset simply because someone else isn't acting exactly like you do.[/quote]

If you accept a dinner invitation at someone else’s home and then proceed to act like a toddler, refusing to even try the dinner, you are beyond rude. My dad is very picky, and even he can manage to take three bites, fill up on rolls and salad, and make such pleasant conversation that, to the untrained eye, it just look like he didn’t eat a ton.[/quote]

This. Adults who are polite and mature know how to manage your themselves in such a way that no one would know you are picky. If you are an adult and your friends can rattle off your aversions because you make much of yourself over them, grow up.

I had a close friend and didn’t realize for years that she didn’t eat cheese, because she knew how to manage so well, even on pizza night.[/quote]
