[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's wrong with her having a big accent if she's not from there? That one sounds like fact. [b] And it IS rude to not try a bite of something offered.

Anyone who is a friend of DD's should defend her if her grandparent puts DD down to them, otherwise they're not a good friend.
Grandpa: Sorry DD dressed so sloppily for you two to go shopping. She's always embarrassing with her clothes.
DD's Friend: I love DD's style and think she looks great![/quote]

You try every single sample at a store?  [/quote]

I think people are missing that it's a spread at a store. Depending on the country no way am I trying some weird room temperature spread sample at a store. I hate goat cheese and won't eat foie gras. It's not rude to demur. [/quote]

Op here and that’s the part that was bad to me: my dad cares more about offending someone at a store  for 10 secs by saying no ty than about being rude to dd. He actually told the sales lady while pointing at dd “well SHE doesn’t want to try it so we are going to leave.” [/quote]

Is this a small town? Are these people his friends or people he sees regularly? If so it could come off as rude- the foreign grandchild who doesn’t know local customs or manners in general. [/quote]

Is everyone tip-toeing around some culture they all know and everyone else is in the dark? It's incredibly RUDE for the welcoming town to be judgy about "the foreign grandchild". In my culture everyone would try to make her feel welcome and be interested in her US experience and not have a hissy fit over local customs and manners FFS. [/quote]
