[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The last dinner party we went to the hosts had nothing for the kids to eat.  Their kids are picky so I think they thought we'd just show up with our own kid food.  My youngest asked for a snack so they gave him crackers and my oldest said he was fine waiting for dessert (which we had brought).  It was bizarre.[/quote]

You're the type of person the Slate question-writer is talking about.  One who expects there to be separate food for the children.  I can't stand this.  If we're having people over, we make sure that there is at least one option that is mild and simple (and therefore child and picky-eater friendly), but I'm sure as hell not making a box of mac and cheese or frozen chicken nuggets just so your special snowflakes have their own dinner.[/quote]

I did not expect there to be separate food for the children.  The hosts assumed we would have just brought food for our kids, since that's what they often do for theirs if they go elsewhere for dinner.  There was zero food offered by the hosts to the children.[/quote]
