[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t care you brought noodles for your child, except it does create an issue when there are several kids under 6 and you pull out a dish of plain noodles for just your child.

Of course all of the kids, even the ones that would have ate what was served, are now going to want the noodles instead.  You should have anticipated that and just asked her if she could have some plain noodles available for your kid (and know the others) or if she would prefer if you brought a single dish for your child.  That at least gives her the opportunity to go ahead an make a batch so there is enough for all the kids that would prefer that.  [/quote]

This. Even if my kids like what's being served they are going to want the noodles. It's not like at school where everyone has a different lunch. If everyone is eating one dinner and one kid is getting buttered noodles the kids are going to notice. If it were an allergy situation I could explain that to my kid. It's harder to explain that she has to have one food but the other kid gets noodles because she's a picky eater. Especially if they are the same age.[/quote]

Why?  I don’t get why this kid hard.  My kids know at 3 that different parents make different choices, and that we’re their parents and make choices for them.  Having said that, I would let my kid eat whatever was served at the table, so if the buttered noodles were passed around they could have them.

It sounds like you think the other parent shouldn’t do what is easy for them because you want it to be easy for you instead.
