to be slightly irritated at my friend's fussy eating DS?

[Flyonthewindscreen]

I had two friends for lunch yesterday, they have three DS between them and I also have two DC. I was trying to think of something easy to make to eat that most people would like so got in various pizzas, and all the usual trimmings, garlic bread, salad, coleslaw etc. As I'm putting it in the oven, friend A says her DS (age 9) doesn't like pizza but does like garlic bread, could he have a sandwich. No prob, I say and make him a cheese sandwich. Then friend B says her DS (also 9) doesn't like pizza or garlic bread or cheese sandwiches. Ok I say, eventually he agrees to eat a jam sandwich. Then I have to put up with my own DC who usually like pizza, etc asking why can't they just have jam sandwiches and then pudding.

My own DD is a fussy eater but in this scenario I would ask for her to have a small portion and tell her to make a token effort. I was a bit irritated by my friends pandering to her strapping nine year old DS (hope I didn't show it!). AIBU?

edam DH is a Chef as well, so DD is very much a part of the making food as well, even though you have finish peeling the carrot and checking that the hard boiled egg doesn't have shell still on it, but it is very cute. I love food too, however, I will not eat mashed potatoes... just can't do it. Doesn't matter how much you dress them up, I won't eat them. I'm not fussed about kids who are fussy. There's always something that they will all eat. I'm surprised at the pizza though; thought every kid loved pizza.
