[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At 17 I had a retail job.  If I was driving home after working until close I'd stop and pick up food for myself on the way home.  It never would have occurred to me to ask or expect my parents to bring home food after a date night.[/quote]

Agree.  And to add to that, the daughter didn’t even want food from the restaurant they were in.  She expected parents to make an additional stop to get her carry out from somewhere else. Sorry, that is bananas [/quote]

Not true

She asked what we ate and if we could bring her something.[/quote]

She could have stopped on the way home and got herself something.  Why does it matter what you ate? It would never occur to be to ask me parents to bring me takeout when I was 17 (and also worked doubles on weekends) and they went out to dinner.  Same if my husband goes out to dinner.  So here you have an almost adult child that won’t /can’t make themselves a simple meal, won’t eat leftovers, and won’t get their own takeout. College will be rough. [/quote]
