[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is a 15 yr old who doesn't drive obsessed with drive thrus? She's getting that experience somewhere to keep asking for it. Why would she demand Starbucks for breakfast if there is no history of it? Something is missing here.[/quote]

She’s 15 - how would she not know about drive-thrus? Do you have kids that are not infants?

No my kids aren't that young, my oldest is a teen. Be we almost never go thru a drive thru so they never ask as we're driving by them. A family with a habit of stopping often would make more sense for the kid begging for it. They don't ask for things they aren't used to in the first place.[/quote]

Of course they do! Teens are extremely easily influenced. My neighbors growing up got take out all the time and were so jealous of them! My mother would make us a nice home made meal and we would wanting the neighbors KFC.

Hopefully once she starts earning her own money she is more aware - once I started working I was always calculating how many hours of work it would take to pay for something, and it really made aware of how much things cost. [/quote]

But you ate your mom’s dinner. OPs daughter is getting her fast food either on her own or begging others. You begrudgingly ate your dinner, like most people end up doing when there aren’t other options.[/quote]
