I invited a friend's DD to my house. She and one of her friend's had been invited to a wedding and they were going to go together
I offered to have her DD and casually offered to have her friend's DD too. She jumped at the chance and was very enthusiastic.
This was all a very last minute arrangement and both seemed grateful to have childcare sorted
They were gone before lunch time but would be back before 6 so was told they'd sort dinner.
I briefly mentioned what to give for lunch and my own friend didn't actually say but I know her DD very well so just gave her what I know she would eat. No problems.
However, my friend's friend said 'oh just a cheese sandwich will do fine! Thanks again for having her'
I made a chicken curry. Both girls ate it and then wanted some seconds we also had some olives randomly and a snack in the early evening
Friend's friend rang me once her DD was home with her screaming! I was completely shocked and not sure what she was talking about at first. Then she was cleared and said 'YOU GAVE RACH CHICKEN?! She is veggie!!!!! You could've damaged her stomach! She isn't use to meat'
I apologies profusely and said how sorry I was. It was a genuine mistake. She then said 'And the olives?! A choking hazard aren't they?!'
I again apologised but said I didn't realise it was wrong. I then said I won't have her again so there's no need to worry any further. She started screaming again and I hang up.
This was Sunday night. I haven't heard from my friend (who's child I know better and am actually close with). Her phone goes to VM and WhatsApp messages aren't double ticking
Was I really that Unreasonable? I really really didn't even think she could be veggie
To make matters worse, my own child has a severe disability and he doesn't eat meat. I feel so bad.
