[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son likes steak and seafood so his order is always on the high end when we go out as a family, but he knows to order in line with the host when somebody else is treating. Don't most tweens/teens know this? If you're worried about it I'd have my son take his friends out for pizza or Chinese food (something family style).[/quote] Everyone is assuming that a teen/tween is a jerk if they order an expensive item or that everyone knows this. I am not at all sure that my kids have gone to restaurants without us often enough that they know this rule. They order whatever they want when they are with us (we aren't going to super expensive places) and with friends' families it is more likely to be something like chik fila or pizza. I hope I would remember to remind them of the rule but I could see it slipping my mind. Let's not assume that kids have the etiquette savvy of adults.[/quote]
