If out for lunch,at what point do you stop sharing yours with other people's DCs?

oooh WiiMii - they did indeed have their own pudding to share between them but it proved by all accounts to be the wrong one. It was rejected. This is often the case.

Blast - now I've let the cat out of the bag and let on that maybe pudding are slightly more frequent than special and occasional.

Often the loud one hankers after anything I'm eating and then often just throws it on the floor or squishes it in a depressingly wastful manner. It is more than slightly irritating.

rude of yoru friends,
i agree

did you friends have a pudding?

My friends will happily share but they don't seem to get heranged as much as I do .

I have to say, I'm not too keen on giving very small ones rich choc puds as they seem to go a bit mad on it....

In my mind it's like coke or alcohol - they are non-negotiable with small ones and I am CERTAIN that my pud should surely fit in to that category

I have tried pathetically shooing them away in the hopes that my friends will grab child as necessary but there is a flash of disbelief in one of my friend's face which stops me in my tracks rather.

hmm, well I have to say I would buy my own child the same as I was having;. or agree with the other mums to get one for them to share that was the same.

if I hadn't done that however i would just smile at them and not offer any. to any of them (well, maybe a sneaky spoonful to mu own)

OMG share my pudding NEVER
sorry but no way however much cute kids plead.
dd has cp so I still feed her (she is nearly 13) but never pudding that is dh's job

but in answer to you question. if they have eaten and left the table.......end of food surely

i think we have to know
what WAS the pudding?

It was the sort of pudding that you would have instead of a main meal and still suffer palpitations from the richness of it.

in that case i don't blame you for your "issues"

If it was that good I'd happily have stood on the table and noisily enjoyed it while they clawed at my ankles

If no other adult happened to be in possession of similar pudding I would tell all the other mummy's that, while I'd love to share with their PFB's my pudding is laced with brandy/sambuca/LSD.

I've just been out to lunch this week with a German friend and my 2 dc ordered 2 different things that they couldn't finish so the German friend ate them both! They have a thing about leaving food, but that's OK with me! I'd have ordered more if my plate had been in danger though.
