[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up poor and special occasions were the only times we ate out. Same with DH. It’s still a big deal for our parents. My dad, in particular, feels really happy if he can grab the check and insist on paying it. We live in a small apartment. It’s possible to throw informal gatherings of up to 10 people comfortably. 20 in warm weather when we can expand onto the patio. Anything in fancy dress or with food requiring fork and knife, we can do six people total. DH appreciates that I’m not too stressed from setting up or too tired from clean up.[/quote] My DH's parents are not poor but they grew up in and lived for many years in rural areas with no dining options. So eating out at a nicer restaurant was only done on vacations. Even fast food like Popeyes was something for road trips or if they had to drive somewhere. [/quote]
