[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I generally like my in laws, so here's my tiny petty complaint. My nephew is a picky eater who doesn't eat a lot and grazes instead of eating meals. When I host, I have plenty of breakfast food options--muffins, bagels, English muffins, etc. My nephew will ask for a bagel. My SIL will say "do you want half?" (Why does she even ask?) he immediately demands a whole bagel. She gives it to him. He takes 2 bites of it (not exaggerating). Then they leave it on the table for hours because "he might come back to it later" HE NEVER DOES. Repeat for the next meal. I wish she would just give him a quarter of it or half so someone else can eat the other half and it doesn't go to waste. They stay with us for a few days and so much food is wasted because this kid demands something whole, they give in, and he never finishes it. [/quote] I know kids like this. The solution is to buy those mini bagels. Even if they don't eat the whole thing, it's just a small amount of waste vs a giant 4 serving bagel.[/quote]

Cut the bagels in half. Cut the muffins in half.  I buy bakery stuff from costco and everything gets cut into smaller servings. [/quote]

Oh no! You are MY petty vent! I freaking hate when people cut things like muffins in half. Not sure why-it just gets under my skin![/quote]
