[quote=Anonymous]We have had the same argument, and we are on the same “sides” as well (with me wanting to be more conservative with spending).

Part of it, IMHO, is that men eat more and tend to be more hungry for “real meals” than women (and often younger kids) are. The kids and I are happy to have a muffin and fruit for breakfast and just want for lunch. Or if we had a big breakfast we are happy to snack on cheese and crackers, fruit, veggies and dip or other munchies etc for lunch. For my DH: no. Not at home, and especially not on vacation. Could that be part of this? Not to stereotype but my friends note similar experiences (like when our husbands are out of town we eat lighter easy meals with the kids).

Anyway: compromise. My DH tends to concede breakfast if we are are not staying at a resort. Plus the kids usually want to get out to the beach or whatever we are doing, early. So we have muffins or bagels, fruit etc. Then we eat out for lunch and dinner.

My post is written as if you are staying at a condo or rental rather than a resort, based on the issue. If a resort, things are a bit different. [/quote]
