[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rich? Is the kid from a rich family? I housed some boys from NYC and Connecticut, and if we stopped by even Burger King this one kid would order three meals!
Knowing that I had cooked dinner as well, but teen athletes so I was trying to make sure they were full. He had money from parents a ton of money, and he knew we were not that well off based on our house! Never one offered to pay for his own.[/quote]

Np this seems more something a kid from a lower class family would do. At least that’s what I’ve seen. Rich kids have always had excellent manners

I will say that it’s awkward being a guest and wanting more. You offer to pay but the hosts don’t let you.  [/quote]

My guess is you grew up well off. In my experience, a kid who did not (I am one) would be uber focused on the extra cost of an appetizer, soda, etc. Versus someone who grew up never having to worry about those extra costs is more oblivious. I don’t think it relates to manners in either case (and regardless manners are not tied at all to income level other than fake niceties). [/quote]

Pp here. I did grow up well off. I dated guys or had friends who weren’t. And they thought my parents should pay because they could afford it and they’d order up. It was rudeness.

I remember my sister at 16 sat at a table with her friends and ordered 3 milkshakes and also an entree. My parents couldn’t believe it. They’d get $80 bills just from her at places like Cheesecake Factory. She told them they could afford it. It’s a common bratty refrain.

This guy though is probably just hungry. Dh would finish his meal and then eat mine and often my moms, but we offered! [/quote]
