So i have my friends boy today, he is 2, gorgeous little chappy.
Her dh brought him at 12.30, he was hungry. She has mentioned that he wont eat certain stuff previously,so i did kinda know.

When i asked what will he have, her dh said, well what have you got..so listed off sandwiches.."oh no, he wont eat sandwiches"
What about beans on toast.."no"
several items later, i said, "ok then, what does he normally eat...""
chicken nuggets" came the reply.
so i went toput the nuggets on a baking tray and her dh said..."oh no, he will only eat 3"

SO now, im putting my oven on to heat up 3 nuggets while the rest of the house are eating ham sandwiches....

Now i think this is unreasonable, the child was hungry and her dh was standing over me expectantly and with no signs that he finds this unreasonable..so i made them.

Child didnt eat them, says doesnt like taste.

I have him till 5.30 and he is going to be very hungry by then. Ive got laods in but he doesnt like anything at all that i offer.

Its difficult isnt it.

If you have a fussy child - or one with SNs, food intolerances or allergies, you know, and you make provision for them - either feeding them first, or taking something with you.
I've had the reverse when i've said i'll be collecting before tea so don't give him anything - and explained his intolerances. Parent didn't listen/understand and DS spent the next 24 hours doing no.2s through the eye of a needle (tmi - apologies) Xmas Blush
