On a scale of 1 - 5 (5 being the most upset) how upset would you be if... Adults that had one of your children from 11 am to 9 pm didn't feed them lunch knowing they hadn't eaten before they were entrusted to them?

If I was 100% positive that they knew my child had not eaten and didn't give them any food until dinner time, probably about a 4.5. Although they would be the ones paying the price with my incredibly bitchy child who turns into godzilla when she hasn't eaten. Still, that's just rude. If someone is at your house over lunch you offer them something whether or not you knew if they had lunch. Poor kid.

Do you mean they didn't eat ANYTHING that entire time??? If that is the case, I would be very upset-- but I would expect my child to politely speak up for themselves to some degree.

If they just skipped lunch but had snack/dinner later, I would be annoyed, but I would probably let it go.

I often do have my DS's friends here for extended periods of time and I always do ask them if they want something to eat, but they often refuse-- which makes me worry that their parents will think I'm not offering!

I would be at a 5 if no food was offered to my child during a 10 hour period.
