[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't read all of the posts, but I am shocked how many people are attacking OP. It doesn't sound like she's trying to deny the boy food, but for a guest to consistently order multiple course meals when no one else is, is rude or clueless, and either is a problem. Sure, he's hungry, but he's also rude. I can't imagine anyone posting on here would do the same - repeatedly - at someone else's home and think that's okay. Sure, fast food isn't as big of a deal, but it sounds as if the issue is that he always does it, no matter the restaurant. As someone else said, he should be offering to treat the family every now and then to show a little appreciation. Even if it's just treating to Taco Bell or Chick-Fil-A, it's the polite thing to do. OP's income has nothing to do with this. They could be zillionaires, and it would still be rude. And whoever mentioned that "rich" people have better manners is crazy. One of my best friends growing up was incredibly wealthy and was one of the cheapest people I knew. She'd borrow money every time we went somewhere and never pay me/my parents back, but if you borrowed money from her, she'd fully expect to be repaid. My parents would have been very upset if I acted like that, and we had far less money than her family. I eventually adjusted by only bringing enough money for my meal, movie, etc., but it was annoying. My only defense for him is if he weren't raised to know better. OP shouldn't have to be the one to tell him, but I guess she'd be doing him a favor to help him see how this comes across. Awkward, but better than being a 40-year-old who still doesn't get it.[/quote] Then it's up to OP to tell him: no apps, no dessert, only one entree when eating out in this family. [/quote] Ultimately it is up to OP to set the boundaries but its kinda sad no one else has up till now.[/quote]
