There are many new entitled parents who believe that the world revolves around them and their children. They force others to make extra effort to accommodate their family according to their wishes at family functions, as there is no one more special than them in the whole world. 

OP narrated a similar story about her cousin’s family, who arrived at the family BBQ party on 2 hours prior notice, which OP and her husband arranged at their place and wanted to get unseasoned meat for her 1.5-year-old baby. OP had already seasoned all the food beforehand to get a proper flavorful taste on the BBQ for 24 people. At first, her cousin refused to come for the event at OP’s house but changed her plan two hours before the BBQ started. OP had enough food for all the people, but she hadn’t made any special things for the little toddler. At the event, her cousin got upset after learning that the tomahawks were too salty and seasoned for her child and asked OP to bring a new piece from a butcher shop during the dinner. OP’s husband refused such an unreasonable demand and suggested washing the meat in water before giving it to her daughter.

10. Redditor disapproves OP’s cousin’s behavior of changing her plan two hours before the event.

11. Yes, they shouldn’t expect that they would get baby food in such a short time.

12. Redditor kids ate whatever she ate with all seasoning when they were 1.5 years old.

13. Redditor always took food for their little kids on family dinners to avoid such problems.

14. Redditor has a valid point.

15. Redditor is providing a proper explanation for OP’s cousin.

16. Indeed! Little babies can eat a little bit of something other than a steak.

17. Redditor thinks that parents should bring their baby’s food themselves to avoid her excessive salt intake.

18. Redditor believes that steak is great for toddlers if seasoned properly.

19. Yes, a 1.5-year-old can eat some cereal or a sandwich instead of seasoned steak.

20. Redditor advises OP to ask her cousin to bring her baby’s food with her for the next gathering.

OP was right in her place, as no one would make extra unseasoned meat for a 1.5-year-old baby as the amount the toddler takes is too small, and no one can waste the whole meat piece for only one baby. She might make something else for the baby if her cousin informed her one or two days before the event about her coming, but asking for separate food for her kid at two hours notice was unreasonable. If her cousin was so worried about her daughter’s health, then she should bring her child’s food from home instead of creating drama at the family dinner.
