Sadly, OP could have teens, based on the number of times my boys came home hungry. I remember going to a playdate for lunch and the mom served two carrots, and handful of grapes and a thimble of cheese. I took one look at my 5-year old and said we had to leave immediately after. At parties they would come home ravenous because there was one pizza for 6-7 tweens. Or, they'd go to dinner with (a well to do) family who made them order off the kiddie menu at 13. Granted, they were in the 85% and 99% for height, but active kids need food and many people aren't willing to provide it.[/quote]

Aren’t willing or are not accustomed? Our DS was active through HS but only started consuming food in large amounts till college. I’m sure I “underserved” on play dates because I only had our 2 kids as a data set and prepared enough based on their consumption patterns x # of guests. [/quote]

I'm pp, and that's definitely fair. However, my kids at 12/13 were taller than many adults, so forcing a kids menu seemed unreasonable. [b]Either way, it's unfortunate because my kids avoided those houses because they were always hungry. [/quote][/b]

And I’m sure those houses appreciated it. [/quote]
