Do you mention to parents if you have their dc round for dinner and they don’t eat?

DD’s mate has been here this afternoon (they’re 9). I made dinner, she didn’t like it and very politely didn’t eat anything. Offered her toast, cereal, no go. They had a fair bit of sweet stuff earlier, tbf.

I’m not annoyed, but I feel guilty for sending her home hungry.

Would you mention in passing to the parent when they collect, so they know they might need to give her something at home? Or will I sound like I’m being passive-aggressive about her DD being fussy?

Stupid question maybe but I tend to overthink stuff like this!

I always let the parent know I offered but the child didn't want anything. Nothing worse than being told at bedtime they are "starving".

Yes, i would, but not make a big deal of it. It may be they just didn't like it, then felt bad to accept other food offered.

Yes I always let parents know what / how much their dc has had to eat. Play date just collected now & I said she’d eaten really well & what they’d had.

Thanks, just had moment of doubt! Mentioned and it was fine.

Yeah just mention at pick up / drop off. 'X hasn't ate much dinner, my cooking Is terrible to be fair. I did offer xyz, but they declined'

Yes I'd mention it.

I mentioned that "x" told me she didn't like sausages or pasta and her mum looked absolutely astounded. I knew it was bs because I had overheard her say that if she said that she didn't like them then I would have to get a McDonald's.

Nope.

No idea why she thought I was a pushover!
