[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, McDonalds isn't reheatable and isn't good cold, so let's be honest if he wasn't eating it, it was going in the trash anyway.

I'm generally not a "finish your plate" type.  Food waste is a problem but the point of significant waste isn't picky children.  The kid was trying to be polite in his own way, he didn't like the food but he was trying to hide that fact from you.

The issue here was bringing it up with his mom.  What, exactly was she supposed to say in that moment?  Especially if couched as it being a problem with the kid.  So she came up with a dip response.

Just, when you buy someone a gift you have to accept they make not like it.  But move on.[/quote]
This.
Honestly, if extracurricular carpool mom told me my kid wasted two fast food meals, I wouldn’t know how to respond. Probably “thank you for letting me know.“ Depending on our relationship and if I buy her kids fast food meals, I may or may not offer to Venmo her $20 to cover it because apparently she has an issue with it.
I don’t necessarily think they shake shack comment is that big of a deal. The Mom needed to provide some sort of response, and she just picked something to justify why he didn’t eat it. Was it the best response? No. But it wasn’t a horrible response that you need to dissect and judge? No.[/quote]
