[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it says more about Americans that they would berate a non-American host for not wanting to give in to some spoiled brat. Anyone agree? The only voices of dissent seem to come from people who grew up elsewhere and understand that cooking food that a child doesn't like isn't child abuse.[/quote]

Not true. If you read the whole thread, you would find my post, I am from Europe and completely disagree with OP. I think she is picking a fight that isn't hers, that serves no purpose and that she should take the kid shopping and get him food he wants. It is for 2 weeks. She is making a mountain out of a mole hill and who knows, this is clearly some weird power play. If she was an actual grandma or a mom even, she would learn that you don't lose sleep over nothing.[/quote]

Ok, even if you disagree with her...so what? Why are you so worked up? She never said she was losing sleep or wants to punish the child. You are the one who is exaggerating. [/quote]

I mean if you are not OP, which I think you are, how am I worked up compared to you? My opinion mirrors the opinion of most pps, you are among few who decided to give opinion of other pps rather than just her opinion of what OP should do, and to make it about the whole American nation being defensive and raising spoiled brats. And I am the one who is worked up?[/quote]
