Lol. I didn't eat Velveeta for YEARS! Now all of a sudden I have to have it.
My family didn't get Velveeta when I was growing up, so I didn't know what to do with it for a long time. Then I discovered that, while I didn't like Kraft Mac 'n Cheese, I
did like Velveeta Shells 'n Cheese. And one day I got to thinking that the box kits are really pricey, but a bag of pasta shells and a block of Velveeta aren't. So I bought some Velveeta.
On its own, it was underwhelming. In fact, I don't like to just eat it. I also don't like Kraft singles on their own. *shudder* But they each have their limited uses for which I can't find a suitable replacement.
My husband will eat them both on their own even as he makes sure to tell me (every single time) that it's not
cheese. When he does this, I'm always, like, "I
know! That's why I don't eat it plain.

She is 17. Coming over with her girlfriend to celebrate her 18th birthday with me. That kind of guilt doesn't work on her. Lol
But I've learned to ignore the complaining and focus on the positive side of life and she usually does as I ask.
If it was something important like my medication (she will have to bring that too) she wouldn't complain. But food stuffs... she thinks is ridiculous.
I'm disappointed for her though as she is missing Glasgow Pride by a weekend. She did get to do Sydney Pride with her older sister earlier in the year so maybe that makes up for it.
Oh, 17? She's not "difficult"; she's just a teen. You should ask the girlfriend to bring the foodstuffs. The social dynamics of you being her host (I assume they're staying with you) forbid her from giving you any grief about it, whereas your daughter isn't your guest, she's your daughter, so she can be as difficult as she wants to be.
