[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of my biggest pet peeves is kids who come to our house and refuse to eat anything we serve. When we first moved here from Europe, we would serve our kids' friends (ranging in age from 8 to 12) whatever we were eating - pasta bolognese, roasted chicken and potatoes with herbs, salad. We soon realized that our kids friends'  -- at least the ones who'd grown up in the US -- wouldn't touch any of it. So we started simplifying their meals, only serving plain pasta, hamburgers, pizza, hot dogs. That works most of the time. (Well, except for the kid who scrapes all the toppings off a plain pizza and cuts off the crust, in the end only eating 40% of each slice and throwing the rest away.) Anyway... today we had some more kids over and I made hot dogs and oven french fries. Sure winner, right? Nope. One of the kids, upon seeing the food, immediately declares: I don't like french fries. The only french fries I like are the home made ones.

Please, can someone unroll my eyes out of the back of my head?

Why invite them back? Their parents are failing them. Sad.[/quote]
