[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m conceding on the Chick-fil-A.

Here’s another example.  DH texts and says he’s ordering pizza and what would we like.   I say I’ll share DS’s cheese pizza.  DD and her bf each order their own.  Ok fine (I’m thinking why can’t they share but ok).  The bf chooses the most expensive pizza. DD says can we also get xx appetizer and cinnamon pull apartment. I’m thinking ok that’s fine we will share that.  And then the bf chimes in and requests ANOTHER appetizer on top of what DD has requested.

Ok and here’s a Taco Bell order: “1 beefy fritos burrito and 1 shredded chicken burrito please, Also, can we do the party pack with the 5 layer burritos in the mix instead of the bean burritos”

I mean, is this really normal?

What is he ordering, the Meat Lover’s pizza?  My question to you is: are they finishing most of the food or are they over-ordering?  If the latter, I would set a boundary. If the former, I would let them order what they need to feel full but order from a less expensive restaurant. [/quote]

Wow, you all order out a lot and your DD's boyfriend spends a lot of time at your house during a pandemic.  But, I think it is reasonable to know whether he actually finishes the food.  A couple of my kids eat so much food that it is unbelievable.

Like PP and others have said, you have to set boundaries.  We rarely order out - I think during this entire pandemic, it's been three times.  But, when we do, I always tell everyone in advance what we are getting - like how many entrees, appetizers, pizzas, etc. and then everyone has to reach agreement so that we can all share.  I think it would be kind of hard to start to share at this point since that's not what your family does.  But you can certainly limit the amount of the order if they are not eating everything.  And, if they are eating everything, then you can still limit, but make sure you have other food  around for them.  [/quote]
