[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From your complaint, it’s Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Kid won’t eat your “fancy” meals and you complain. Kid won’t eat crappy kid food and you complain. 
Honestly I think you’re being too sensitive. Kids comment. Who cares? Put out a few things and if they’re hungry they’ll find something. If not, oh well.

I guess my expectation is that kids won't complain when served food at the house of someone they barely know. Basic manners, y'know?[/quote]
Eh. From what you posted it was a matter of fact kid statement.  He didn’t say - that’s gross (which is rude) but that he didn’t eat like French fries (a statement of opinion). I know adults who say I don’t eat that because it’s carbs or whatever. People are allowed to have food preferences. I just really think op is blowing it out of proportion. [/quote]

Exactly.  I agree with this and the person who said put out whatever and they’ll eat it or they won’t.  Don’t take it personally.[/quote]

Yup.  I had a bunch of boys over today.  I told them we have apples, grapes and pretzels for snack.  One ate pretzels, the other declined all three.  Really no big deal.  
PS oven fries are gross—I would not hold it against any child that doesn’t like them.  [/quote]
