[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My BIL (6’7” and 200) would easily eat two fast food meals when he was that age. My husband (6’5” 185) always orders the most expensive entree on the menu regardless of where we go/what food is available. My ILs always joked about their predilections but never corrected this behavior. I had to correct my husband after he did this repeatedly with my friends and family. It was mortifying. And it took years to cure this impulse because his parents never did a damn thing but laugh about it. I think they failed in imparting social skills to their boys. [/quote]

+1. He's rude. MIL did the same thing to SO & his sibling and it is trainable at this age. It really does create a lasting bad impression, though.

There was a comment on the first page telling them what they could choose-just an entree  or something-and that is fair. It is a combination of the rudeness as well as the frequency that is annoying to OP, I'd guess. Look, I'm happy to treat but if it is a constant thing on top of ordering above and beyond then I'd be massively annoyed no matter what $ I was making because I would feel taken advantage of. If they don't have food at home then I'll make a giant thing of spaghetti or tostadas with lots of protein for them and even give them leftovers.

As far as an appetizer goes, is he not even sharing at all? Is it one of the huge apps or the little $3 bowl of soup? It makes a huge difference if he's eating something meant for six people. If DD asked, hey, would you mind if we got a dessert to split, sure. The bf is coming off as a mannerless glutton, though, and DD needs to communicate family standards/norms to him.[/quote]
