Dinner at my parents with SD

Dinner at my parents house:

First SD7 and BD10months were in the living room playing with baby toys that my parents acquired for BD. They had done the same for SD in the past and those toys are now at our house..anyway. SD actually picked up my baby and moved her to a different room and said, "you stay here!" So that she could continue playing WITH THE BABY'S TOYS without the baby getting in her way. I said, "I don't think so! Those are her toys!"

Then, after a long talk with her dad about how she was going to eat what was had and not going to complain or pout about it. She ate the meat but wouldn't touch the rice. My baby tried the rice and had about ten good sized bites of it because she loved it so much, yet, here is SD, unable to eat a few bites of rice.

Then my dad asked her if she tried the vegetable (which was wrapped in bacon so its not even a real vegi) I had made her try a bit giving her mostly bacon. He asked her if she tried it and if she liked it. Her response was, "Eh." What a rude little shit.

Oh well. I don't know why she can't be polite.

I dont get it because she has been taught manners for years..she wouldn't ever pull the crap she does out in public at home which is backwards! We have tried very hard for years to instill manners. She even already has books and everything! Her BM is out of the picture, but, when she is there things just regress because BM teaches her that grownups are there to coddle and worship her..puke. She knows manners, she just refuses to use them when it matters the most. She frustrates me so much sometimes but in the end it doesn't matter what my parents think of her.

TBH I don't know what's normal and what isn't anymore. I do have to say, a year ago, SD wouldn't have tried anything new and she tried my bacon asparagus with no problem either, though, I didn't give her much of an option lol. Why did she have to be rude about it when my father, the cook ,asked her? I know we have explained a million times how to act and behave and what is polite to say during dinner at someone's home.

Gah.. lol all the more reason I dont bring SD around my family.
Thankfully she has picked up positive table manners when eating with us.. after I said no elbows, we eat at the table, we dont lay our head on the table, we ask before we are done and getting up, and no we cant see the tv from here!

It's kind of more like..she behaves really well around us but when it's other people that's when she acts like this. Why would that be? She did just spend the weekend with her BM's mother..she always comes back from there very spoiled and entitled so it probably wasn't the wisest decision to take her to my parents right away.

She is 7, it sounds pretty normal. I wouldn't worry about it. This too shall pass.!
