Parenting styles

How do you guys do it when you have good friends that have very extremely different parenting styles from you?

For example we've just went away with friends and there were few things that we felt were absolutely not acceptable whatsoever... Like "we have to do this or else *kid* will be angry at us" or the kid eating candy for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Also the kid watching youtube during every meal or snack.

Also kid was on dad's lap, he told kid please sit still I can't hold you like this, you'll fall. *kid falls* "DAD! 😡" (kid angry at dad for dropping kid) mom rushes in over the top worried (as is normal for them for any bump or stump the kid does) while kid is screaming as if kid broke every bone in it's body.

Kid also gets gifts for any and every occasion possible.

Also: kid doesn't have eating or mental or physical problems.

Other than this, we are good friends and we have no problem with how they raise their kid as it's their kid, we don't agree with it but it's not our business and not our problem. But we will spend time together and our kid will see and experience her and their behavior. (mom also bought our kid gifts and candies for no reason, which was nice but we don't want to be giving gifts and candy all the time for no reason, also our kid declined after a few candies and asked for a healthier cookie)

Kid in general has pretty good manners and is a sweet kid.

How would you guys think is the best way to approach this?

Do we hold on to our parenting when we're together or find a middle ground? Should we ask our friends to find some kind of a middle ground too?

Our kid is 18 months. He doesn't really get that yet, but since we got home he's a bit more sassy than usual.

Because we might take other (longer) trips in the future it's a good thing to think about...

I don't want my kid to feel left out or wronged, I don't want my friends to feel like (we think) they may be bad parents or something..
