“I Wasn’t Going To Cook Anything Else”: Mom Demands Apology And New Meal After 9-Year-Old Starts Bawling Over Food, Host Shows Them The Door Instead

If you want to be condescending to me, you don't get politeness.

Having a loved one in the hospital is a nightmare. We forgive Brides for becoming Bridezilla due to the stress of the wedding. This situation is likely more stressful. We need to understand and forgive. What she did was unacceptable, the child was acting out because Mom never taught her how to handle this situation. Pretending it does not exist did not work well for either of them.

The hostess definitely owed an apology to the distraught child for refusing to provide her something else to eat. She should've made her a little sandwich at least.

Having been in a similar situation before, it's not always possible to know how you'll react or when it'll hit you. You don't always know what or where your limits are, or whether something is going to happen to test those limits. It would have been -better- to cancel or reschedule, yes, but I don't think it was malicious or an unforgivable mistake to try to continue with already established plans... That being said, she absolutely should've explained herself as soon as things started going wrong, and left right then.

Since when are dad's EVER portrayed as anything but bumbling idiots who can't watch over a wet sock without screwing it up somehow? That's right, never. So drop your man hating drivel.

Unfortunately Ive seen something very similar happen, multiple times with multiple families. I work in an educational nonprofit, we offer vacation and summer camps and open early for scheduled school half days (among a lot of other things) and at all of those we feed the kids a FREE lunch (some of our other programs offer a free hot dinner). Parents have the option of getting our menu ahead of time if they would like a copy to make sure thier kid will like what we are serving each day. And home lunch is perfectly acceptable we just remind them that we dont have the facilities to geat up thier home lunches should they bring them. Most dont, and then we get screamed at and asked to apologize to the kids (7-9 is our biggest age group, thankfully for me I work with the teens). 9 is right around the age that this behavior by the parents reaches its peak. And the parents get even worse when thier kid doesnt like a fun extra treat we decide to make for them - something we arent required to do

I've seen enough Karen videos to think this might be true. I had a lady threaten to call the police on me for not letting her use my phone to call the police on someone else after she threw a brick at them.

While I am not a parent, I am around a lot of kids at family gatherings. Kids are weird. They are picky eaters. They often refuse to east things that look different. They do things they know are wrong. They can say and do things at the table for the sole purpose of pissing off their parents. Personally, I would refuse to cook for a child 12 and under based on how I see children act in restaurants and family events.

You would be surprised. Some people are soooo entitled you wouldn't believe it. Even worse if they have children, as if everybody had to put up with their nonsense.

I think it's obvious to those of us on the outside of the situation, but on the inside of it, it might not be so. Often when people are caught up in situations, they cannot see the whole thing because they are also caught up in their own perspectives on the matter, and the drama around it, that they cannot see other possible perspectives. I don't necessarily think these stories are fake, though of course anything is possible. This is just my outsiders perspective 😉

Not true. Unless the child has a learning disability, a medical condition, or a legit reason, like an autistic child with sensory issues, every child can learn to eat a variety of food, and to behave in a civilised way if they don't like something. There's no need to force them to eat something they don't like, but they should learn to behave in those situations. However "weird" the child is, it's the parents' job to make sure their child is not a little tyrant.

Genetics versus environment. I have to believe it is a combination of the two. JS

So, she still doesn’t get to act out in someone else’s home!
