Children and dinner

Ive never really thought about that...the only place we got for dinenr is at mum and dads and they are in the same house(we live in our own self contained part down the other end), but mum and dad always dish up a little plate for Caden and now Bella.

If we were going to a friends, I would probably take some stuff for the kids, but Caden eats eveything we do now, and Bella mostly eats what we do..so Id probably ends up dishing them up some of what we were haivng anyways.

I can't believe people wouldn't feed the children tbh. If i invite friends with kids i plan it as a family friendly dinner and we would eat early and cook stuff most kids will eat.

Same with people with allergies, vegetarians etc, if i invite them i research what they can eat and plan the menu accordingly.

If i was having a fancy dinner party thing i'd prob do the same but make sure the kids have enough nibbly food earlier to last the distance and not expect them to eat too much of the fancy food if it's not to their taste. We did this recently with friends and had 3 toddlers there and it was fun. Had candles on the table and the kids had plastic wine glasses with lemonade in etc, so we made it a fun dinner for them too.

I dont cook a separate meal for them unless what I am planning isnt very child friendly (like a curry) but I cook enough that they are catered for with what we're eating.

If we go to someone's house then I do expect there'll be enough food for DD too - and we've never gone anywhere where she hasnt been catered for.
