Yep. When I was 9-15, anytime I was at my bestie's house I was even allowed to act like I was at home and just raid the fridge/pantry whenever Never really took them up on it, but the offer was there My mum thinks my brother's bestie is strange because he always turns down dinner at her place and waits to go home to eat, even when he's come over after school and is staying the night.
I have never seen chicken disappear so fast in my life. He is now in the bath as his belly was a bit sore from eating quickly, and probably from starving. I really don't understand it at all. As the mum said they were going home and sitting on their butt till music lessons, so it wasn't like they were on the go all the time from 3pm either.
I am the same Teni. If I have kids here they know they can help themselves to anything from our snack cupboard or fruit bowl.
Yes I would expect my child to be offered something to eat, even if it was some bikkies & milk. BUT Saying that, I am use to my kids helping themselves. So I would quite possibly forget if the kids where busy playing. Had they been home to the other parents place or where they out the whole time?
So YES I 100% agree that he should have been offered something.. Maybe its a good time to teach him how to politely ask (he shouldnt have too, but you know...)
I don't know how many times I got home from school, that afternoon tea ended up being for more than the 5 of us. There were friends that usually ended up having dinner with us too.
