Took DS and his friend to a theme park the other day. I paid for ticket and we went to shop day before to get packed lunch stuff which both parents knew - plus one works at shop and saw us and we told them!

Friend bought packet of biscuits and chocolate with his money to take and mum sent packed lunch and some money.

His friend kept saying he was hungry and eating throughout the day as well as eating lunch I provided. He ate all food from mum, food he bought, packed lunch from me, chips and sweets he brought there and also had dinner on his return.

I did comment he couldn't possibly be hungry but he said he always eats loads. Who am I to disbelieve him?

Anyway 2 days later I see parents on seperate occasions and both commented for length about how he'd eaten to excess and been sick and dad was moaning he'd had to clean it up.

They appeared to blame me saying I didn't control it but I think I can't physically stop a child from eating - can I?

I have said to DS I will not be taking him again - AIBU?

This is what happens when you people so paranoid about what is going into their kids that the go too far the other way. An aquaintance is tearing her hair out because whenever her teen daughters go out with their friends they always have junk food, lots of it. She says that she cant understand it as they were never allowed any unhealthy food as kids, and genuinely doesnt see that by refusing any junk or sweets etc at all she made them more attractive to her daughters. She says things like "But they have never had it, so why do they want it now?!" she just doesnt get it Hmm
