Guac and queso if you make over $450k

[Anonymous]

I also have an high HHI family and feel the same as OP. It's not just the guac - I refuse to pay the $4+ dollars for a soda fountain drink at Chipotle.

Why does the story keep changing?

Because people aren't giving the response OP wants.

Except for sock puppeteers, most agree with her.

Now that’s rich.

She's not answering the questions about her own college savings, home, etc. Clearly she thought she was going to be wealthier and that's why her choices are better (as in, "5 minutes of my time is not worth $30").

Come on...divulge the same info!

You have COMPLETELY missed the point of the question about your big ticket spending! How is it possible to be so dumb?!

It doesn't. I posted these details yesterday in several posts.

I know families that don’t make a quarter of that and still let their kids get guac and queso

I don’t need to save $30 on gas because I don’t spend MILLIONS of dollars on houses and cars. But you do you, boo!

Fwiw, we have 7 figure HHI and generally skip extras. We will also often split large meals and desserts. It's not a question of affording, it's about not unnecessarily wasting and also value for money. It's not a thing that comes up, because our kids dont see us randomly ordering extras so they don't either.

We do pay for convenience. So we buy food at the airport instead of packing it unless we have leftovers that are easy to bring.

I don't actually find this super weird for UMC families.

Op. Thanks for sharing this perspective. My bottom line takeaway is I'm not alone in trying to provide some limits for my kids. To the person who mentioned the soda, we never buy drinks at restaurants (but we also only drink water at home).

Can’t spend what you don’t have. As said above, a fool and his money…

Gee, this made us forget all about your failure to answer about your income and assets. Good one.

I saw the same behavior when the kids went to their day-care. Kids would pour out milk in the sink because their teachers told them that if they don't want to drink their milk they need to pour it out in the sink. They made the kids throw away uneaten lunch in the lunchbox before packing it back in their bags. Just NO. I told the daycare that I do not want uneaten food to be thrown away. I want to know how much food my kids consume and what they don't like. Also, only pour milk if they want it, and no more than 2 oz at a time. Tell them that they will pour more if the kids want it. Why pour out a full glass of milk?

In my home, when I saw that parents stood around like dumpf oafs watching their kids waste food, I stepped in. I would say - "In our house, we do not waste food. If you take food, you have to finish it. So, I will give you a small sample of anything you want to taste, if you like it, only then I will serve you a small size. You are allowed to take as many refills as you want, but you have to eat it. If you love something a lot and would like to take some back home, I will also gladly pack food for you to take home."

I didn't care what the parents thought about it. It was not as if there was any reciprocity that I had to worry about it. I organized, I cooked and I fed them. I very much was going to be the hostess who was raised in my non-American culture. We are generous and hospitable hosts but we do not waste food.

You are still way, WAY more wasteful than me. I tell people- children and adults alike- in my home, "in this house, we do not waste food. If you take food, you have to finish it." I will offer one spoonful of food at a time, and once they swallow the spoonful, if they can open up and show me that they have not pocketed the food in the corner of their mouth, I will allow them a second spoonful. Milk (or wine, for adults) would NEVER be poured 2oz at a time. Are you joking? I use shot glasses for our guests and fill them to the 1oz line with beverage. They can refill as many times as they want, but 1oz at a time is my limit. I also stand outside of the bathroom and pass them a square of toilet paper at a time (half a square for anyone under 10) and if they tell me they need a second square, that's fine, I'll give them one. They just have to ask. This is my home and we do not waste!

Op. When I got it on the side, it congealed at bit. I don't think my dd will get it again.
