To think KFC is fine for an 11 year old?

New friend stuck for emergency childcare for a hospital appointment

I offered to have her, no problem. This was Saturday afternoon and her mum would be out early evening

I asked if she had any allergies because I said 'I'm happy to feed her, what does she like, any allergies?'

Her mum said no allergies, where were you thinking? I said Bella Italia

Her mum said that's lovely! That would be great

Job sorted. Got there and they had closed down! So we went nearby to KFC (both girls very happy and keen to have that instead)

Was I wrong not to run this by her mum?

When I returned her DD, I gave a small run down of how lovely she has been, all the usual. And said we had a KFC, I can't believe X place is closed

She said 'Oh? I thought you were taking her to Bella's Sad. I don't like her having fast food'

I said sorry about that, the conversation trailed off and then I said my goodbyes, said I hoped she felt well soon and drove off

Was I wrong here? She explicitly said she had no allergies and this isn't something I would be bothered about, a friend taking my daughter to place Y when they had previously said place Z (obviously no allergies involved)

Your friend is a cheeky bitch after the favour you had just done for her.

It’s fine. If she doesn’t like fast food that’s fine too but seeing as you were doing something nice for them I wouldn’t have said anything other than thank you.

God. You do people a favour and they always have to act like an arse.

You did nothing wrong.

Bella Italia is shite anyway. I'd rather a KFC, at least it's not trying to be something it isn't!

Beggers can't be choosers. Even if she didn't like it she shouldn't have said anything.

The next time she needs emergency childcare she can shove it up her arse.

It's fine 🐔
You friend needs to chill.

it's fine maybe it wasn't her first choice but if closed it would have been a long trek to supermarket etc
