this weekend i'm throwing a bit of a party/dinner, for a family members birthday. one of the people who is invited called me today to ask what i'm cooking.
i told them, chilli, jacket potatoes, veggie and chicken wraps, salad, nachos, i said i wasnt making it hot, as there are alot of children, and that i would cook some chicken without seasoning incase anyone isnt keen.
all this is being made and paid for by me, and is being made as the person whose birthday it is asked for it.
the one who called me asked what the children were having. i said this they were having the same as us.
she said that her and her kids wont eat it and she would bring sausages and buns for me too cook for them.
i think its pretty rude, im already making 2 difffernt meats, and veggie option. i have a tiny kitchen and am cooking for 25 people. i dont have room to do more, or time.
am i being unreasonable to say no?

Yes, it was rude of the guest to take the route she did.

Members of families are usually lose enough to be frank with them. As other posters have said, I would take the road of, "Sorry, kitchen too small for two workers. If you have to have sausages, you are welcome to prepare them at home and bring them ready to eat."

... members of families are close enough ....
