That’s a weird take.

Get this, at our house, we make extra and eat it the next day. So it’s EVERYONES leftovers, not just one persons. Even more gross!!

Eating food that has been on your kid's plate and potentially in their mouth is normal? What planet are we living on? We're not talking about the 1/2 pot of whatever that is leftover. These nutbjobs are literally eating the food that their kids have taken bites of. Yes, that's gross.

I mean, I think OP is crazy but I also find it very hard to believe no one has eaten a bite of their kids food? It's not some stranger its my literal DNA eating food I personally prepared!

I have eaten off people's plates. I have shared french fries with my kid, or tasted my DH's entree, or split an appetizer. I don't consider any of that weird.

But what does DNA have to do with germs?

Nothing scientifically but I dunno mentally it kind of feels like my own germs! I mean they are all over me all the time anyway, if I get sick from my 4 year old it isn't because I ate a chicken nugget.

Hardly the same. My kids will often have a runny nose, sniffle, sore throat or whatever and I definitely don't want that so I don't eat off their plates or drink from their cups.

Food insecurity is a real thing. This thread is very cringe

DP, but I've never seen that point of avoiding my kids' germs. When they're sick they lie in bed with me and basically breath directly into my mouth, and I'm going to worry about eating food they've touched? Seems silly.

Gross. I take it you're talking about a 2 year old and not a 13 year old.

I have a very small appetite. I often don’t order because I’m concerned I won’t finish my food. So I pick a little from the others. But this is at a casual restaurant like Clyde’s or something. Obviously if it’s a special occasion /nice restaurant then I order something for myself.
. I do the same at home. Especially when I’m cooking for the family. I completely lose my appetite and often just sit at the table with an empty plate.

Me. We only order out when we need something quick and easy, and I'd rather eat a sandwich from my kitchen rather than McDonalds.

That’s why we’re saying either stay home instead of going to a restaurant, or if you do go, simply take the leftovers home. OP is not posting as someone who cannot afford the meals; she is posting as someone who doesn’t want waste. And we’re saying leftovers that are eaten the next day aren’t waste, so live a little and go out if you’re going to go out.

OR if there truly is a food insecurity issue, why isn’t there a call for DAD to be the one to skip ordering and eat from the kids’ leftover food for a change? Why is it No Meal for Mom?

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.

I always orders something. Sometimes I'll order a salad knowing that I'll eat a few of my kids fries and a bite or two or their burger- that's what I really want- just a few bites... and I'll give them a few cukes or tomatoes from my salad.

I really hope it's just one nut job posting over and over. There cannot be this much crazy out there.

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.

You must not spend much time on the Diet and Exercise forum. I think that is where most of these posters came from.

Yes obviously I did not think OP was “sharing” a meal with a 13 year old!

The mysophobia runs deep on DCUM.

You arent running a higher risk of getting sick from eating off your kids plate than just living with them.

It’s always disturbing to realize how many crazy people exist out there…

I'm the PP and I was thinking of my seven year old, who was just sick. Yes, I did cuddle with her, because she had a fever and was miserable and wanted to cuddle with her dad until she felt better enough to fall asleep. It seems weird to find that gross.
