[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He’s not being rude. He’s ordering what is a meal for him. I have two college aged boys and trust me, he is not ordering too much. Also, how is he supposed to know that cost is an issue if you or your daughter don’t tell the boy? Tell him things are tight right now - ask if he could chip in or tell him that you are only ordering entrees tonight. He can’t read your mind! [/quote]

You’ve reared your children poorly if they don’t know to follow the ordering cues of the host, and when in doubt, order less. I’m honestly shocked that anyone is defending this abysmal behavior. If I were the host, I’d not say anything to the child, of course, as that would be bad manners, but anyone who did this would not be invited back to my home and I’d think poorly of their parents.[/quote]

I don't see any cues given by the host. I'm fairly certain my kids wouldn't have realized that their normal, modest order would be offensive to OP. OP should be happy she doesn't have boys, I guess. That just isn't a lot of food for a college male, especially if he is at all athletic.[/quote]

Especially if he is eating it all and not wasting it. He is ordering what he needs to not be hungry. Would you rather he be hungry OP? Sounds like it. I would be more bothered by him being hungry in my home than him ordering more food and eating it all. Not everyone can survive off one chicken leg and a spoonful of peas. [/quote]

People who have never had teenaged boys often don’t realize just how much food they need to eat at times to be full.[/quote]

Right? Actually when I read the order, I though he was being polite by cutting a normal order in half. I guarantee that when he left that house after dinner his first stop was somewhere to get food.
