He Left His Friend’s Dinner Party To Get His Son Fast Food Because His Son Didn’t Like What Was Being Served
Have you ever been to a dinner party where you couldn’t stand the food? Although that happens sometimes, we usually try to grin and bear it so we don’t upset our host.
However, one man recently caused some drama after he left a dinner party his friend was hosting to get his son McDonald’s because he wouldn’t eat the food.
He’s 26-years-old and has a five-year-old son with his 29-year-old wife. They were recently invited to have dinner at his wife’s friend’s house. Her friend is a 30-year-old man who’s also married and has a five-year-old daughter.
“As long as we’ve known him, this friend has kept to a very strict diet, which has almost always led to us eating over at his place, but he is an excellent cook, so I’ve never minded,” he explained.
“We have not, however, seen him since both of our children were infants.”
Their friend served them a nice dinner with salmon, quinoa, and arugula. Although his son is usually mild-tempered, he does tend to get hangry.
So when he saw his son not eating the food their friend had prepared, he started to get nervous, thinking his son would be a moody mess for the rest of the night if he didn’t eat anything.
He asked his son if he was happy with the meal, and he said no.
He laughed off his son’s response and asked their friends if they had anything more kid-friendly for him to eat in the house.

They said no, and explained that their daughter usually eats whatever they serve, so they didn’t have anything like chicken nuggets or pizza in the house.
His wife said their son would be fine, but he had a feeling that if he didn’t eat, he wouldn’t be. So, he excused himself from the table and said he needed to go out and quickly grab some food for his son.
“My wife’s friend seemed irked but said he’d try and keep my plate warm,” he recalled. “I was gone for about 30 minutes [and] came back with a Happy Meal, [I] ordered extra fries in case his daughter wanted any, which she was not allowed to have.”
When had got back to their friend’s house, the dinner was practically over, but his son ate the Happy Meal, and he joined them for dessert. He figured other than that “hiccup,” the night went pretty well. But when he and his family returned home, his wife was angry with him and said he was a jerk for leaving the dinner party.
“I pointed out that if I hadn’t gotten our son dinner, he would’ve been a monster the entire way home, to which she replied that we would’ve left earlier,” he added.
“I said I was just looking to solve the problem as it happened and that if her friend had been more accommodating, we wouldn’t have been in the situation in the first place.”
His wife was still angry on their friend’s behalf, and they went to bed at odds that night. Was he wrong to leave the dinner party to get his son some fast food?
