At that point, she decided to just be honest and explained how she simply could not work around the little girl’s food preferences.
Beth’s parents didn’t really understand that, though, and asked her why she couldn’t just keep a package of chicken nuggets in her freezer to make whenever the girls had a playdate.
“And I told them I wouldn’t do that because I don’t want to teach my kids that it’s okay to request something different than what they’re being served,” she said.
After that, Beth’s parents were not happy and reportedly had some choice words for her. In fact, they are now considering not even letting Beth hang out with her daughter anymore.
So now, in the wake of that awkward conversation, she’s been left wondering whether she is a jerk for not hosting Beth for dinner anymore.
Does it seem like she tried her best to accommodate Beth’s food preferences? Is it understandable that she wants to teach her children to adapt to whatever food is being served to them? Or is it overboard? If you had been in her shoes, how would you have handled Beth’s pickiness?
