At some point you should know your child and understand their dietary preferences. Don’t cater exclusively to them but don’t make dinner more difficult for yourself just because you refuse to listen to what your kid likes.

While i agree, not polite to bring grilled cheese to a family meal and forcing them to make my kid a grilled cheese isnt either; at least not my family.

What? Like they brought grilled cheese for their child and then your child wanted grilled cheese too but you didn’t want to make them also make your kid a grilled cheese?

Uh, no like you bring them over to family hosting, show them what's for dinner and then ask them what they would like and they ask for grilled cheese. Sorry for the poor explanation!

Ooooh gotcha yeah definitely valid annoyance, but also par for the course with some kids at a certain age unfortunately. Hope yall figure it out in the end!
