Have you Ever?

If I ever plan to have something to eat before going over to a friends house I will ask them if they would like something, if not than I will eat at the place I had previously planned on going to or I will wait until I leave my friend's house before I get something to eat. It is rather rude I think to order out and than eat it in front of the people that your are suppose to be visiting. Some people just don't think.

I know exactly who you are talking about and she does it all the time. I don't think your wrong in feeling that it's rude as I do too! I too am the type of person where if I need to eat I go do it, and then go to the friends house. OR I will call them on my cell, see if they want anything, and then go there!

Well to be honest that is not a Friend and I would have asked her to leave before she gave her Children the Food as I think it is cruel and evil to do that to Children actually I would not even want to know a Person like that I have never done that and I would never do it That is so heartless

If I were buying my kids food and going to visit a friend, we would eat before we get there. or bring enough for everyone. I would think that would be rude, just imagine how that makes the kids feel. If a friend came over with her/his kids and they were eating in front of my kids, I probably would be really mad but just not say anything. I'm the type of person who doesnt open their mouth when things are bugging them. I hold it all in.. That can be good and bad.. good because atleast I didnt start any arguments with whoever I didnt open my mouth to.. but bad because if I keep holding it all in, I am going to explaod sooner or later and I feel so sorry for whoever has to deal with that! There have been a few times that I have bit my tongue and then later just exploded and went totally off on the person and quit speaking to them for a while.

How disgraceful. It amazes me that there are people like this. Where I live, if you go to visit people you always turn up with food. But it's for sharing. That must have been very uncomfortable for you and your family.

That is rude, i know if i'm going over to someone's house or even going to work and bringing in breakfast, I always call the person to make sure they are not hungry and don't want anything. That's just common courtesy. I don't feel comfortable eating in front of someone that doesn't have any food, i feel as though they would be staring at me and I would still feel obligated to ask if they wanted a bite. Eating in front of people who don't have food just causes a lot of uncomfortableness in my opinion.

I use to own my own daycare and had one parent and her boyfriend who would consistently drop the child off with a happy meal in hand even though I told them repeatedly that this was not allowed or acceptable. When other kids see the happy meal and they don't get one it makes for a very unhappy enviroment. I had all kids from 1-4 years old at the time and this really aggrivated me.

That is very rude, however I would probably not say anything but I would tell her next timeshe is planning to come over that if she is planning take out to bring some for my kids as well. i would pay for it and that would maybe send a message that I do not think it is ok. They could have eaten before coming!!!

Well I would be upset at them. I would wonder why they did not eat at the restaurant they got the food from and then why if they were comming over they did not bring food for my kids or at least call to see if my kids have eaten dinner yet and if I would like them to bring them something to eat. Thats just rude of them. I would fell sorry for my kids.

Hi BlueAngelRS, I have had this happen before, when my daughter was younger. It's hard to explain to kids why there's nothing for them, and very awkward too, when you have to take them aside to do so. This is something I wouldn't do, either in front of kids or adults, for that matter. It's a matter of good manners, but some people just don't seem to think of these things. I'm not surprised to hear that this is the same 'friend,' who's been very nasty in her remarks regarding your loss. I'd find it hard to keep up the friendship, when this type of thing happens again and again. I hope you can let her know how you feel about some of these things, when you feel you're ready. Take Care.

really it would be a discomfort that someone would go to your house and take food for her kids only. i think that this type of person is egoistic and thoughtless being also a friend. i know people like that and i don´t think that i can be a good friend with someone so egoistic and viewing that she/he continue making that. when someone visit you, it´s normal that you offer them something.or when you visit to someone, you take soemting to share between all.

That sounds incredibly rude. I would be really upset if someone did this in my house. I doubt I would invite them over again.

This is really rude. I would never do something like that. That person should finish eating at the restaurant or even call you and ask if you wanted her to bring something.
