Is this normal?? What would you have done?

Yesterday we went to a birthday party for a friend of my dd's.  We got there and the kids played for a while.  Then it was time for food.  The kids had the option of hotdogs or pepperoni pizza.  Now my DD will eat them...but she isn't a huge fan.  The adults could have chicken fajita's or brisket.  Both of which my dd loves.  I made my plate and gave DD her plate.  She ate her once slice of pizza alloted and came and said she was still hungry.  I gave her a few bites of my brisket and then she took off.  The mother got mad at me for sharing the food on my plate.  She said all the other kids would want the adult food now.  My kid did not run off while eating the food.  I did not take extra food.  And I think one slice of pizza or one hotdog for 9-11 year olds in unrealistic.

Was I wrong to share my food with my DD?

Forgot to add...one of the adults wanted pizza and the mom said no.

I would be embarrassed for that mom. She made herself look like a cheap ass who couldn't afford enough food or good manners. No more parties there.

Quoting DuncansMommy:

That's just stupid. I probably would have left if I had been treated like that. You should be able to feed your daughter whatever food you want.

she sounds like my SIL. She sets schedules and rules like that and can't handle it if things don't go the way she planned or thinks they should. I'd just shake it off that she has a stick stuck up her a*s

I would have done the same thing as you. What is this woman.... the Food Police? Monitoring what everyone is eating? I also think it's weird that she has two separate meals at the party; adult meal & children meal.

I always eat before going to a party so I don't eat a lot at the party, but I do think its rude to say no this is for adults

That is the most stupid thing I've ever heard! Of course I would give my child a much food as she wanted! I think that mother has a lot a nerve! Telling everyone one price of this..or that...wth

Seems like she needs it controlled. I can't believe she'd tell a woman no you can't have pizza. I would have just made food and let whoever eat whatever. We cook hot dogs, hamburgers and steaks on the grill. If my 5 yr old nephew wants steak he can have it. I'm not going to limit them to hotdogs :/

Um no not at all. It's YOUR plate and YOUR food. I would have given my kid a few bites of my food also.

Sounds like the "hostess" is a control freak!

My girls do not like "kiddie food" and prefer adult food.  When we go to parties OR out to dinner, they always eat an adult entree' because that is what they prefer.  

I do not think you did ANYTHING wrong by sharing YOUR alotted serving with her.  It's not like you got her an entire plate of food and quite frankly, even if you did, my advice would be for the "hostess" to get over it!  

I would strongly consider RSVP'ing "NO" to any future parties until she reads Hostess 101! LOL!

Thats weird, I never make "kid food" and "adult food". Strange, but I don't think you were wrong.
