[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you do this? Playdate at 2pm, kid shows up and hasn't eaten lunch yet. We ate at 12:30. This has happened with 2 friends recently. NOT a situation where the kids are neglected or can't afford food. [b]I have to make a special lunch for the kid and then my kids watch him eat. Rude for the parents to do this and uncomfortable for everyone. [/b][/quote] If this situation is uncomfortable for you, you are not a gracious host. It takes 90 seconds to make a sandwich. You feel put out by that? It probably takes a kid 5 minutes to eat a sandwich. Your kid doesn't know how to sit, chat, and sip a glass of water while someone else is eating? I have been in the situation where a kid didn't eat lunch, didn't tell me, and then announced it to his parent picking him up that he had only eaten popcorn and candy since breakfast (I picked him up for a movie at 1:00 from his mom's house and his dad picked him up at our house at 4:00). I felt terrible.[/quote]
