Was at a Childs Birthday party with my ds, We don't eat sausages purely because they are full of utter crap, At the buffet my ds doesn't even go to pick up a sausage as we never eat them so fills plate up with other things but some other Mums at the party question me so I explained we don't eat them, Unbeknown to me whilst my ds is in the other room another mum says to him 'Quick don't tell your mum but I've got a sausage for you', and hands one to him. AIBU to watch to question her on this when I see her next and/or punch her in the face

Please punch her - I'd love to read the DM headlines on that story when you get convicted of assault.

I would explain why you don't eat certain things (not that you have to) tell her it is your choice what your child eats, not hers so butt out!
For the record not all sausages are full of crap, there are some amazingly high quality sausages, usually from local butches so it pays to shop around.
I'm happy to pay anywhere up to £10 for a couple of high quality sausages from my local butcher and the same goes for all my meat.
But if you really don't like them, that's up to you. x

She WBU to deliberately go behind your back and give your kid something you don't want him to eat. However YAOverreacting a bit.

Some mums really 'questioned' you as to why you didn't put one particular item from a buffet on your plate? How weird.
I read that as pony cocktail sausage

Were you doing that loud parnting thing? the "LOOK! Tristram, WE don't eat So WE? no WE dont, because they are full of COWS UDDERS'.
Sometimes I think I must just meet vanilla people, my life is just never this exciting. No one has ever questioned me over a sausage >arf arf<

Smash her in the face with a saveloy.
The sneaky sausage loving cunt.
Am furious on your behalf.
I personally wouldn't give a crap what was on anyone's plate. What a strange thing to do. the phrase get a life comes to mind. I'd assume at any party kids would pick what they liked and leave what they didn't
The other parents that is not you

Why don't you just avoid parties in future? Would you seriously "question her on this next time you see her"?
yabu. It's a party.
I'm as fussy as they come (organic, free range meat etc) but the kids can eat whatever the hell they like at a party.

How funny that people don't believe me! I explained we don't eat sausages and yes they did ask, nothing precious about not eating cheap cocktail sausages full of rubbish!
I had some fabulous sausages the other day. 90% pork, 10% of combined apple, salt and pepper. No bread, or shite at all. Sadly they were £6.50 for 10 so I shan't be having them again for a while, but bloody lovely they were...

Would you eat the dear ones full of rubbish then?
I hope everything else on the table was handreared in a patch tended by fairies and elves, harvested by virgins and cooked by a unicorn.
