[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t always bring food for my kids when we go out. But honestly if my kid had just worked a double shift I definitely would have said yes. It’s just the nice thing to do. [/quote]

I'm going out on a limb and presuming this wasn't daughter's first night working.
When my kids are working or have a late activity and aren't home for usual dinner time, I'm not planning my entire evening and meal around their individual schedules. Sometimes I do help get something for my daughter for an early dinner if she's got to get back to school for an activity. Other times, she fends for herself. 
If I cook dinner, there will be their portion when they get home that they can dish out and re-heat as they desire. If we know we're going out or won't be preparing a dinner at home for whatever reason, we let them know. But I'm not going to cook a meal just for them when we spontaneously decide to go out with friends or whatnot. My teens are intelligent enough to figure out that there isn't a dinner waiting. The older one will probably text to ask when we're going to be home and if we're bringing dinner...even when we've given advanced notice. Same answer: no.  He's got a job and a driver's license and a bank card and is independently mobile.  [/quote]
