[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have friends of 13 years like this. We vacation with them, spend holidays with them. I explain very directly that The Smith Family has different rules and does thing different,  so be prepared to continue to follow our rules. I've said in front of the family " weve talked about this, different families, different rules" I've also asked my friend to please not offer my kids candy. She complies maybe 80% of the time.

Her kids have the worst diet I have seen in my life. However, that doesn't mean my kids need to. Just like her kids don't need to eat vegetables like mine do. It's not too hard to manage. I just clearly set my kids expectations.[/quote]

Incidentally, we have the same healthier diet in our family...but you sound insufferable. I’m surprised you have friends.[/quote]

Yes, we have lots of them. Just hosted 25 people for Friendsgiving. We also are torn for NYE with 3 invites for parties. Sometimes our social life is too full and can be exhausting.

No shortage of friends here despite feeding my kids a healthy diet. Sorry to disappoint.  :wink: [/quote]

Now you sound insufferable and defensive.
