To think going to Maccas when someone has made your dinner is tide?

This is DD's friend.
She's fussy which is fine, I cater for her, she loves my chicken korma, which I've made tonight, and a selection of other dishes.

DD went to play at her house earlier, saying they'd be back by 5.45 for dinner, and then they'd go to youth club at 6.30.

DD came back on her own as her friend is off to Maccas with her Mum, and then coming to sleep over at 7!

Oh fucking really?Shock

YANBU

Very rude. How old is she?

FranSanDisco · 18/03/2011 18:31

Did she know you were cooking for her? If she did then she is rude.

It's McDonalds.
The friend is 10, DD is 9.

I'm bloody furious. I love cooking, it's nothing to me to make a selection of curries for fussy child, but fussy child deciding to go to Maccas instead of eating the food made for her

And they didn't invite DD.
I don't have a car so we rarely go there, DD would like to go more, and to be told her friend is going and will be around later is making me really annoyed.

Rude rude rude. YANBU.

I was all excited then though, I thought there was some new MN phrase :o

Flisspaps · 18/03/2011 18:39

Oh, I thought that she was going to Paul McCartney's house for tea and then going to youth club Wink

ravenAK · 18/03/2011 18:39

Yeah, a bit. Thoughtless more than deliberately so...?

I think I'd say nothing, freeze the surplus korma for another day, & next time she's supposed to be eating at yours, say something like: 'Are you definitely eating here? I need to know how many to cook for'.

perfumedlife · 18/03/2011 18:43

That is rude, YANBU.

No wonder kids grow up with such poor manners if that sort of bahviour is encouraged by their parents.

No.
No Paul McCartney.
Anyway, his hair looks like a dead ginger cat.

Yeah, I will freeze the extra food, It's more the asking me to cook for her, and then going and getting the one thing DD would love, and rubbing her nose in it.

Girls are horrible.

If I agree she was rude can you post the recipe?

I'm rubbish at curry. Smile

ExitPursuedByALamb · 18/03/2011 18:50

Agree that girls are horrible. My DD's school is like a nest of vipers. Why oh why could they not take your DD with them?????

Next time she comes for tea, I would deliberately cook something you know she doesn't like - but then I can bear a grudge for eons. DD tells me to get over it.

Oh, I made risotto last week, and she went home in a huff!

The only homemade food she will eat is chicken korma which is why I made it for her!

I've no idea why they didn't take DD.
It's not like I think DD should be included in their outings, but to have an outing when a sleepover has been planned, and to not eat what I have cooked, in favour of what DD would rather have, when DD can't have it is just mean.

Please can I have the recipe! Pleeease! Smile

Jamie Oliver!
paste

I can't find the recipes for the full curries on there, but I can recommend the book-Ministry of Food.
Oh, and the Dahl was a Delia recipe.

Clearly I'm just a numpty who cooks for people who don't eat it, and don't even share with DD.

DD will be allowed an ice cream from the van when it comes round later!

Actually - now I think about it - the not inviting your dd is bloody rude! They (friend & her mum) should've stuck to plan A & arranged MaccyDs for the return visit.

NettoSuperstar · 18/03/2011 19:34

And I still have to have this kid over tonight.

DD would be really upset if I said no, but I'm so cross at having her here.
I blame her Mum, more than her, but even last week she went home to get a can of Fanta as she doesn't like non-fizzy drinks.

I let that go, I would never not let it go, but rude to bring your own drinks no?

catinthehat2 · 18/03/2011 19:35

THere's your answer

yummy chicken korma for all DDs other friends

boring whatever + pasta for miss attitude

and - this is the vital bit - relentlessly feign dottiness every single time from now on. "Oh you're the one who only eats pasta aren't you, all DD's other chums get yummy korma, shame you don't like it". And never ever ever make it for her again, however puzzled she is.

Rub that home made curry in, baby! Grin

catinthehat2 · 18/03/2011 19:36

Can you freeze a large pack of it and have it couriered overnight to me please
TIA

I can wallop her with it, and I feel like doing it.

I have three types of curry, and two different salads.
I'm never cooking again.

The child is here.

She doesn't like Ovaltine, or hot chocolate, or anything.
I don't like her.
We're about to play a game.

That's crap, very tide and very rude too! I think this calls for lots of passive aggressiveness!
