[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son wants to go out to eat with friends for his bday. The restaurant he picked is fine except there are a few meals on the menu that are expensive. I want to set a max dollar limit per person. I don’t want anyone ordering the $40 fish of the day when there are several options under $25. [/quote]

It would be better to count on everyone ordering the most expensive option and limiting the number of friends. Maybe you can’t afford the birthday you want to give him or that he wants? That’s fine, but please don’t set a max dollar limit per person, that’s putting the kids in an uncomfortable position. [/quote]

This is so dumb. Of course you can say "any entree under $25 (or whatever)." [/quote]

You can, but it is awkward and a little rude. [/quote]

No, it's fine. These are children and this is not a wedding. There is no need for the food equivalent of an "open bar." [/quote]

+1 I wouldn't invite adults out to dinner and limit what they order, but these are kids, who lack life experience and may not have been taught the social niceties that (most) adults know.  It's fine to set reasonable parameters. [/quote]
