[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your son is rude not to make an effort with her and food. You sound really obnoxious. No you should not give them money but you should be kind and more supportive.[/quote] Agree! OP and her son sound elitist and potentially racist. Food is really important in some cultures, and bringing your own food for a visit is tantamount to a grave insult. You should be sensitive to that, and figure out some kind of polite compromise. I’m sure there are at least a handful of dishes from her culture that would be palatable to him. Or he can offer to make a side and eat primarily that item along with a few bites of her main. Also, what teenage boy refuses carb-heavy foods? Doesn’t he do sports? One weekend of carb-heavy food a month isn’t going to kill him. Do you both have eating disorders?[/quote]
