[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My teen niece and nephew were pretty bad last time. I told the whole family the menu in advance. The nephew did not eat one item, or try anything, the entire 6 hours in my house. The meal was normal and delicious.

After the meal, I asked if he wanted a PBj, cereal, anything? No, I guess he got hungry and come to find out, they had stopped and got Wendy’s on the way.

I will say, I was not offended. And if they had brought something, that’s great, awesome, go ahead.

I only feel bad for him that he can’t enjoy delicious stuff <— three of four adult siblings and the entire generation of kiddie cousins is like that. The adults at least are polite. The young cousins may grow into their taste buds. The teens bug me more. Even my little kids are not eating mushrooms and fish, etc., but they will try almost anything.

Mil says she never served salad once because the oldest didn’t like it. [/quote]

Im back again. I think there is a balance. On other times, we have been invited for dinner at a friends house. This friend may be living like Mr. Money Mustache. Retired and wealthy and do whatever they want in their 30s-40s. The wife works just to work. And he doesn’t. He cooks every meal and enjoys cooking, and makes these amazing meals twice a day. Their little kids eat EVERYTHING. Well, I think they forget that other kids do not. But, when we have gone over there, my kids will surprise me. And if all they eat is the one salad and bread they like, then they can have more of that. If one kids only likes the empanadas and eating sour cream like it’s yogurt.. great.

It’s not the end of the world if they don’t eat. They’re a usually too distracted playing w/ friends in situations like that. They can have a sandwich at home later. [/quote]
