To be utterly pissed off that ds's school friend's mother fed him a dairylea triangle for his supper?

[ihatedairyLea]

Namechanger having a rant ok?

I have looked after her ds for the whole of the term- she was very grateful and ds was delighted that his mate came and stayed for tea once a week. She told me that her son was very fussy about food and she didn't feed him any junk- she gave me an idea of the stuff he likes to eat (although most of the time when I served something up he would ask me what it was ) But didn't seem fussy in way , shape or form.

I was a bit stuck today and she said she would collect ds from school. He has only just gone to bed now because he was so hungry he would have eaten a dried up old turd and has blitzed the contents o f the fridge. When I asked what he'd had to eat all afternoon he told me dairylea cheese FFS.

I called her to find out what else he had eaten and she confirmed that's what they both ate because she didn't have anything else in. Hw tricky is it to make a bit of toast or at least tell me he was hungry/didn't eat.

I may aswell have MUG written on my head. I feel like such a twit and that she has completely taken me for a ride.

lol

lol at Eat More cheese
maybe that truly was all she had in
maybe she realy is feeling the credit crunch ha ha eat more cheese, I love it!

Dairylea isn't on the mn list of 'foods you must not admit to eating' is it ??

well at least she had plenty of dairylea

it wont have done him any harm

SIGH
It was for his supper/dinner/tea

She told me "ah no don't worry you always make them something to eat I will do it this time"
It was not a snack, not a treat.

are you sure your son is telling you the whole story?
more likely he fancied 2 dinners

it is funny tho

and no children were harmed in this meal offer

My question was a serious one, I need to know if i have to jot it down in my little book of MN NO NO'S.

I am going to invite her next time and tell her a slap up dinner is on me. Then I will serve the lazy slatt a slab of orange pretendy hamburger cheese on a lovely plate with the best family silver next to it.

Grrrrrr.

well nutty i think probably the dairlylea dipper version might be

tho the op might actually have preferred that as it has carbs

well then it's highly weird.

But I wouldn't be too bothered about it tbh. He came home hungry but you could fix that pretty easily.

My stepmother used to unilaterally announce that we weren't having any lunch today . One of my main childhood memories is of being starving at the weekends and trying to sneak into the kitchen for a handful of cereal to stave off hunger pangs

Oh shit I forgot to add.

He is intolerant to dairy and should not be eating more cheese!

I might have been mildly surprised but not pissed off to the point of posting an internet thread on the subject. Certainly not felt like a mug for feeding her child properly - if you had known that her child ate dairylea triangles, surely you would not have only fed him crap every time he stayed?
Sounds like no harm was done and presume he had a nice time albeit rather hungry by the end and ready for his tea. Perhaps she thought he was having a snack with her and you were feeding him later? Different parents have different priorities, beware of letting this one thing get blown out of proportion. Have a glass of wine

Awe, leave her alone! She's pissed off that her sone came home starving, she's not whinging that his dish contained some non-organic garnish!
Most people have bread in the house.

I don't know, maybe YABU, but who cares? Rant away honey, that's what this board is for!

son

So she had more than 2 dairy lea triangles. She had a whole round of them perhaps. Did he eat more cheese? You kind of have to admire a woman who puts down processed triangular post-dairy product for not only her own kids but someone else's. That takes nerve.

Thank you cardi.

he will have hives tomorrow.

Yanbu (particularly if she knew your son was dairy intolerant), bad planning on her part

YANBU - if that's all she had she should have told you he would be hungry. If she knew she was having your DS she could have got something in, especially as you have been feeding her child all term.

Don't think the OP is slating Dairylea triangles, just telling us that was all her DS had to eat.

I would be a bit peeved too if I was assuming my DS would be fed at a friend's house and he cam ehome starving, regardless of what snack he had.

What time did you pick him up though? If I pick DS up before 5:30 I always assume he won't have eaten there and I feed him when we get home. If it's later than I asusme e will be fed unless it has been specified earlier that food id not on the agenda.

and if she knew yesterday that she'd be looking after your DS then that's plenty of time to get some food in!

At risk of sounding horribly prissy but oh well - he didn't exactly come home "starving" did he? Just hungry.

BUT if she had told you she'd make him a meal it WAS naughty of her to then not do so.

YANBU If she had felt he would be having a proper meal with you later, surely she wou dhave said that when you rang to ask her what he ate?
