[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can not read all these posts but I'll add this.

We make about 520K/year. Tonight I got Cava for me and DS. He asked for double chicken. I got a regular bowl. It was a ton of chicken and I mentioned that the total was $27. He said "Oh wow. I won't get double chicken again, it's too much even though it's a lot of chicken."  And he'll hold to that, he's just like that.

THAT made me feel like I did something right. [/quote]

Just like I said, kids aren’t idiots. They’ll learn [/quote]

Because the mom mentioned the price. The family can afford double chicken but it is wise to ensure your kids grow up valuing money esp in relation to what is being purchased and where. Had the mom said nothing about the cost, the kid would have ordered double chicken whenever…

He didn’t learn it in his own. Good job, mom![/quote]

But did he eat all the chicken? Did he enjoy it? Why deprive him of food he likes, that he is hungry for, and his growing body probably needs just… to teach him a lesson? Are you going to buy the appropriate amount of chicken at home in the future, or continue to go out to eat but not buy him an appropriate amount of food?[/quote]

Double chicken mom here. Yes, he ate it all but he didn't have lunch. Knowing him, he will not get it as a standard "want" in the future, but if he's very hungry he would. Which is fine. He even mentioned before that at Chipotle you can get double rice for free which is a good hack when you're hungry as opposed to paying for more meat. Trust me, this kid isn't starving. We just talk to him about money a lot.  [/quote]
