Funny; I could read it and I have no subscription to the NYT. The upshot is that Swedes often don't feed their children's visitors at mealtimes, but instead send the visitor to play somewhere while everyone else eats.
Reminds me of the 1987 film 'Pelle the Conqueror', in which a man and his son (Pelle) emigrate from desperately-poor Sweden to much-better-off (but not very friendly) Denmark.
Also, if you hover your pointer over the link for a moment before you click it, most browsers will tell you where it goes. That way you can avoid ever clicking a NYT link anywhere, not just places where the hosts alter their editorial policies to please you. Figure out the technology and make it work for you instead of trying to make other people work for you.
On the one hand, I think children shouldn't be treated as the center of the universe- on the other, I'd think feeding them is a minor courtesy that there's no good reason to discard.

I couldn't read the article; it's behind a paywall, and I've already used up my free NYT articles for the month.
However.
Pickled herring? I wouldn't "share" that with an enemy, much less a stranger and especially not a friend. I like my friends.

NYT sucks
PLEASE give us warning so we don't go there
Also there was a paywall
NYT does not deserve to be paid
You insist we leave our name and I comply, please as well warn us about NYT
Thank you

Greg, go somewhere else if you don't like what I do here. I don't work for you.

I believe a lot of papers will let you read today's news stories, but not after the first day without subscription. It's an odd model, I think.
