[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a bit shocked that the parents allow this behavior.  I would never allow it and make it clear that they can pick one entree under XXX price and that anything else is shared in less it is a birthday and then one desert.  That is bad parenting and I would set a limit during the invitation and I would also pick a much cheaper place, like pizza or Chinese food.  I can't imagine doing that to my parents.  We order what we will eat and often share.  I don't see the issue in sharing.  I often will share my meal with my little one and its my parents ordering a separate meal.  1/2 the time she doesn't eat it so I feel bad spending their money to waste it.[/quote]

I completely agree with this, OP. The kid is a spoiled brat and his parents are the enablers. Our kids are 8 and 5 and we do take them out to very nice restaurants as well, but we tell them up front what things cost and that they cannot get the most expensive thing on the menu. I don't care that it's his birthday or whatever. It is extremely rude behavior.

That said, I'm hoping that you do wrap up the uneaten food and take it home.[/quote]
