dd1's friend eats constantly, when she plays at his house his mom offers a drink, then a yoghurt, then biscuits, then raisins, then cake, breadsticks etc all within 2 hrs. dd eats some, more than she would at home and then says no im full but her friend eats everything andf asks for more more more all the time. they are 5.
when dds friend plays here i offer drinks, ice lolly in the summer or biscuit now its colder. dds friend spends the whole time asking me for chocolate,cakes and the other snacks he likes. i sometimes give them 1 thing extra or a banana each incase he is hungry but he doesnt like fruit. if i tell him i dont have chocolate/cakes he doesnt believe me.
now friend has started arriving at my house with tons of snacks for them both and im not sure what to think.
aibu to think at my house for a short play session he should just accept the snack i offer and not bring tons with him and munch his way round the house. it makes my dds eat more than i want, which i accept at their house but think she should accept my way at my house, and he makes a constant mess wandering around eating and wont sit down to eat.
part of me thinks its obviously nothing to do with me what he eats and clearly his mom thinks i dont offer enough food?
