I know so many people who became frum a little later in life. Are they supposed to say ” ok mom and dad thanks for all you have done for me but I am cutting ties with you, bye!” ofcourse not! I have family that isn’t religious in the least but they have a kosher grill for when we come, endless new paper plates cups flatware. When we come they get us cakes and pies from acceptable bakeries. But when we go to functions with 50 other people who too are not religious or even Jewish, our hosts are expected to make the entire event kosher? For sure not. They are in my opinion going above and beyond by doing what I just stayed, especially because it is not something they believe is necessary, but out of respect they do what needs to be done to ensure our attendance. All you need to do is supervise your child, and explain to a 7 year old, there are a lot of things here we can eat and a lot we cant, so come to mommy and she will make you a plate and show you the nosh you can eat!
