[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was part of a mom’s preschool group that made a meal train for me when I had my second child.  So, granted, the person who signed up to bring this wasn’t my BFF of anything.  So I give her a pass..

But I was sent “pizza pasta.” It was cooked noodled, some pepperoni, a jar of sauce, and bag of mozzarella dumped on top, all in an [b]aluminium casserole dish.  [/b]Plus box of generic frozen Texas toast garlic bread.  Whole things was tossed.  Yuck.  If you are going to sign up for a meal train, don’t send bare minimum packaged stuff. [/quote]

People give these things in disposable trays for a reason, dipshit. The fact that you would ding her for not making more work for you - having to wash and return a casserole dish while taking care of a newborn - says a lot about you. That, and how you couldn’t figure out that she was trying to make a dish that a preschooler would eat.[/quote]

No issue with the tray.  But don’t send someone a meal of packaged pepperoni, a jar of sauce, and a bag of cheese dumped over noddles. That isn’t even cooking.  [/quote]

You aren't entitled to someone else's time and energy and money. If you want a certain kind if food, make it yourself or pay someone to prepare it for you.

If you want to participate in a meal train, assume that not everything people send will be something you love or even like. It's likely her family just has different standards/parameters for food. You say thank you, graciously, and then toss it. That's how meal trains go.

Thus thread reminds me of the recent thread on how everyone laments there's no village anymore, but parents today don't actually want the village. This is a perfect example. Someone prepared a meal for you (yes, they did, I don't care how subpart you think it was, that woman thought of, shopped for, and assembled a meal for your family) but you're mad because it's not good enough, not what you'd feed your family, not reflective of your values and social class.

Well that's your village. Take it or leave it. She doesn't work for you, she's just trying to help you out.[/quote]
