WHAT?! FWITH is annoying to hold onto that for so long.
I can KIND of understand being annoyed there wasn't a high chair for the 2 year old, but when this happened to me with a nestie GTG (there was only 1 high chair available so I gave it to her so her younger son could have it), I just plopped M in my lap and we had a great time. I MISS YOU frkls!
Maybe I'm just #breezy, but I so do not have any animosity toward that day. I thought we had fun!
That restaurant had high chairs AND booster seats.
The place I'm going this weekend is what is high-chair-less.
Oh - Elizabeth would probably eat anything I'd let her have. I love babies. Joanna used to be like that.
Maybe E will stay that way. Sophia is the easiest eater ever. Even when she claims she hates it (that's what cool kids do, lol) she eats most of her plate unless she is not hungry.

My kid is extremely picky and wouldn't eat anything on that list. When we go out to eat with friends I check the menu ahead of time and feed her before we go if necessary. Its not a big deal.
Lol that she's been holding that in her back pocket for years. How bizarre!
My kid would eat off of that menu, by the way. She's just a little shit and her tastes change daily now so I can't pinpoint what it is exactly she's eat, but there's enough variety there.
It's not even a comparable situation to the one you were talking about!
My sort of picky kid would eat quite a few things on that menu, I'd just have to present them more simply. Or she'd eat ten pieces of cornbread very happily.
she sounds like she is looking to pick a fight with you, and now she got one, so she can shut you off for some reason. Bringing up these nonsensical things and insulting you so dreadfully last week, this is someone looking to break up.
I couldn't agree more. I don't like where this is heading and I do not like how she treats you.
My older nephew would be fine with this menu, the younger one, maybe or maybe not. He would try the French toast and bacon, but if anything seemed "weird" (in his opinion, which changes with the wind or his mood), he wouldn't touch them, and then you've ordered a $20 brunch (I'm estimating) that will go uneaten.
It's not always the parents' fault when a kid is a picky eater; you get by as best you can. But I think it's also understood that when you have a picky eater, not every restaurant will be a success, so you feed them beforehand, bring a snack, or call ahead and ask if the kitchen can make this or that. It shouldn't necessarily have to result in both the kid and adult being MISERABLE.
And considering how willing your friend seems to criticize, she certainly chose an odd time to keep mum - not just because she held onto it for two years, but even at the time. The time to object to a restaurant is before the reservation is made, not two years after the fact. Speak now or stfu.
ETA: Agree that this friend's behavior sounds reprehensible. Even if she's wonderful in other ways, that neither excuses nor makes up for this BS. Is she doing this with your other friends too, or just you?

How do you remember exactly what was on a brunch menu two years later?
Anyway your friend is crazy. Is there maybe something else that is bothering her and she doesn't want to tell you the real reason she is pissed at you?
My son might eat the bacon if it wasn't too crispy. Otherwise no. He's very picky. (but he also has a disability where picky eating is part of it, she he's not the typical kid)
My kid is a picky eater and 4 and she would eat the fruit and french toast. I may have to refer to French Toast as square pancakes. She's weird about names, we call Cha Gio Vietnamese Taquitos but she likes them.

So there's this thing called "the Internet" and I guess its like, a series of tubes or something, and anyway sometimes you can look up restaurant menus there.
I maaaybe could see what she was saying if she felt out of place having kids. Like if it was a really cool place with a ton of non-kid people. I would want to die if I had to roll up into that type of place with my hooligans. Maybe that was the point she was trying to make with your complaints about non air conditioning place?
But she sounds like a jerk for pulling it out two years later. Plus maybe her complaint was just totally about the menu.

My FIL can tell you what he had for dessert at X restaurant 20 years ago. Some people have good memories. Or spreadsheets. Or the internet.

There were kids everywhere! The place has high chairs and boosters!
