[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every year, we take our grandson (he's now 14) and his parents out to a special dinner, Mortons, The Palm, etc. He generally orders an appetizer, a 3 lb lobster and dessert and much of it goes to waste. While we enjoy a wonderful life, we are not wasteful people. The last time it happened, I said, "Next time, you can probably get a 2 lb lobster," but I felt a little bad. How can we approach this without hurting anyone's feelings and continuing to allow our grandson to enjoy a special birthday dinner with us? [/quote] I think you made an excellent suggestion. You can also ask if he'd like to take any of "this delicious food" home to enjoy for another meal. If he doesn't, just let it go. You are doing him a favor by making him aware of how a good guest behaves. Next time, it could be a potential employer or romantic partner. His parents should be doing this but I'm sure you've already mentioned it to your DC (right?). [/quote]
