[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You created this and your children are entitled.

We never bring carry out home when we eat out without the kids and our kids are in elementary school. I cannot imagine high schoolers not knowing how to feed themselves or expecting me to feed them outside of doing groceries.

I assume you have food at home.
I assume your 17 year old gets lunch or dinner breaks at work. 
I assume she can make her own food when she gets home or worst case she could get in the car and pick something up for herself with some of the money that she makes. [/quote]

This.  I guess I don’t really understood. We never bring carry out back when we go on dates- not once. When the kids were younger, I made sure they had dinner for the babysitter to heat up, or they got pizza.  Now that they are teens, if we go out, I make sure the frig is stocked, but they can easily make themselves grilled cheese, quesadillas, omelettes, eat leftovers. Your kids are even older and driving.  As long as they know ahead of time you and spouse are going out to dinner, they can fix themselves something at home or grab their own takeout on the way home.  Your kids are brats [/quote]

Some of you posters are raising kids who aren’t going to call you or visit you when you’re old.  You should definitely plan on that - [b]you have ample time and opportunity, [/b]and you have set the precedent that you are not responsible for your kids and therefore they are not responsible for you.  And that anyone desiring family to think of them or their happiness beyond basic responsibility is a brat.

Enjoy the old folks home, people.  [/quote]

How do you know how much time these parents have? Just because you do?[/quote]
