[quote=Anonymous]Well, as their parent, you have a right to decide that your children do not eat at McDonalds (I'd tell my own parents the same, FWIW). Next time grandma comes over, tell her that you do not take your kids there, that's one of your rules, but if she'd like to get them ice cream, you'll be happy to find a coupon for Baskin Robbins or get a pint on sale at the local supermarket for all to share. Chances are that it's not that she likes McDonalds but the idea of a "dollar menu" appeals to her Great Depression mentality (terrific phrasing on McD's part there). Again, have a coupon ready or the Harris Teeter circular showing her what's two for one. [/quote]
