Well that's a really pathetic life you're living. Why bother sitting at the table?

This thread just keeps on giving with the crazy. It's quite entertaining. Keep it up.

Why is it pathetic. Should I force feed myself? I have a small appetite. I have no control over that.

NP. You have no social graces whatsoever. If you did, you would at least order soup. No, you don’t have to force-feed yourself, but ordering nothing and sitting there picking up scraps from others is incredibly rude. You put them on the spot; they feel they need to share to see to your comfort, even if they really want the entire portion. It’s rude to your server, who has every right to expect a party of 6 to act like a party of 6.

I have two friends with eating/food issues. They aren’t rude, though, so if you were a total stranger, you’d never guess. They order something very small, make good conversation, and don’t scrounge around for fries or bites of chicken.

no, i do not have an eating disorder I just have a small appetite - why does everyone accuse people who aren't obsessed with food of having an eating disorder.??....I have just never been a big eater.....I said I do not pick off my kid's plates during meals. I said I nibble a little while preparing and then was usually not hungry enough to make a plate for myself once everyone sat down. Also, cooking seems to cause me to lose my appetite. I eat small meals throughout the day - if I know we are going to a nice restaurant for dinner then I make sure to try and save my appetite for that.....I do not think that is "pathetic" or lacking of "social graces"

This is the most pathetic sad life I’ve heard of. Please be a troll.

It is pathetic not to have a huge appetite?? - so strange you see it that way? I think it is pathetic when people cannot control themselves around food. But, I have never been a big eater - plain and simple. I do not think about food on a regular basis or obsess about what I eat or do not eat (or what others eat) i simply eat when I am hungry......

So eating a meal at a restaurant at a typical meal time is being unalbe to "control oneself around food"? Hmm, that's what you tell your kids, eh?

I did not say eating a meal at a restaurant is being unable to control oneself around food - but I think people should eat when they are hungry and not eat when they are not hungry that is all. I was just saying "pathetic" is more like when people can't control themselves around food, people who eat even when they aren't hungry - which a lot of people readily admit they have a problem with.

Is this new poster a troll? I think they are not OP -- they are so obviously just trolling and pretending to have an ED. OP sounds a little more sane in earlier posts...

[Anonymous]

not OP - new poster - not a troll - no ED, just making comments.

Then why not stay home or do something else? If you're not hungry and you're not going to eat, why are you at the restaurant? Why not go for a walk while others enjoy a meal? There's no need for you to be there. That's like saying I don't want to see that movie but I'm going to sit there and tap my foot and play on my phone and wait for others to hurry up and finish it.

how else can I take my kids to the restaurant? what a stupid comment. I was simply using an example of taking kids for lunch but not being hungry myself.

But OP is hungry so this is irrelevant.

Very telling that the thread title is, "Any other MOMS out there just not order when you eat with your family," and not "Any other PARENTS out there..."

Very. Telling.

Not that I need to defend this but when I did it recently we were flying out of DCA and we needed to eat before our flight. We went to Ben Chili’s bowl which didn’t have a kid’s menu and when my daughter got chicken fingers I just didn’t get anything because I didn’t want to fly with leftovers or waste a crap ton of food. One chicken finger order was enough for both of us. She weighs about 45 lbs.

The ultimate White DCUM Almond Mom: go to a well-known DC landmark restaurant because you can snap a pic of the famous sign outside for Instagram, then go in and order not the world-famous chili or half-smokes, but nothing for you and then Mommy’s Going to Share Your Food. But hey, you put that pic up on Instagram and got your “street cred” for visiting Black-owned DC institution.

You sound insane. Since when is the airport a well known institution? I don't think you get street cred for it, or the original location.

I can't believe you made it racial. Good Lord you have problems.

Hon, she's talking about Ben's Chili Bowl. I don't even live in DC and I know this. Cripes.

The airport location is NOT the well known establishment.

It’s still ignorant not to have any idea what the PP is referencing.

I googled almond mom, and I’m not one fwiw. The almond mom commenter was the ignorant one who made up some story in her head. One of the best things I ever attended was a NYC work lunch for parents with a food psychologist as the special guest. My oldest was probably 14 at the time and I still think about it from time to time! I wish I knew the woman’s name.
