Why is telling people that your food is too hot or too cold rude? Can you not just change the temperature of the food to something more palatable for him?
Heh, I don't know... When I was a kid, the rule was you eat what's served to you, and don't complain. But literally every single meal, he complains 2 or 3 times that it's either too hot, or has grown too cold, and has to be reheated.
If I had complained about that as a kid, I would have been sent to my room without dinner until I could learn proper manners, and to appreciate that someone was feeding me at all. But we're being much more patient with my nephew, because we understand about sensory issues now, and that he might have a legitimate reason for being so fanatical about the temperature of his food!
