[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 2 middle school girls. A lot of the discretionary food budget goes to them wanting to get Starbucks, Canes, sushi with their friends, etc. it’s expensive and adds up. I don’t need to spend money on myself for that kind of quick casual. DH and I go out to dinner a few times a year and it’s always nice but also just so expensive. We cook a lot at home.

I’ll add, we ski all winter (we live in CO now). We always set aside budget for lodge lunches which are a racket. I usually eat a protein bar in my ski bag and whatever my kids don’t finish. I don’t even consider myself cheap but am floored at the cost of eating out. [/quote]

This is silly.  You give your kids a weekly budget, and after that they get a job and pay for it.  Learn to say no.[/quote]

Um. It’s not silly if I don’t care that they are taking the discretionary budget. No where in here am I suggesting I never say no or they don’t do chores. Unclench. [/quote]

It sounds pretty excessive.  You cannot complain you don't eat out when you are constantly giving your kids money to.  You just want to play victim.[/quote]

Omg you are awful. [/quote]

No, its silly to comment about the cost and you only eat a protein bar when you are skiing and kids are going to Starbucks and other places regularly.  Mine wouldn't think to ask for starbucks, let alone regularly. [/quote]
