Same. We had a kid order $75 worth of sushi once, and we just laughed. OP is ordering from Chick Fil A and bitching about one extra sandwich. Disgusting of her.

I mean. Calm down. I’m not complaining TO HIM or her or anyone else. I’ll never understand people who are like “YOU’RE SO RUDE”. Rude to whom? So stupid.

If you can’t afford one appetizer and one dessert for yourself you can’t afford takeout for your whole family.

That’s such a stupid thing to say. It’s called a budget. It’s just a budget item. If you order too much, it’s beyond the budget. Just bc you can’t afford dessert and appetizers does not mean you cannot afford take out.

We could afford it but I’d rather go out twice for the same money. An appetizer or desert sometimes sir but not every time. As a guest you take your lead from the hosts.

I’m conceding on the Chick-fil-A.

Here’s another example. DH texts and says he’s ordering pizza and what would we like. I say I’ll share DS’s cheese pizza. DD and her bf each order their own. Ok fine (I’m thinking why can’t they share but ok). The bf chooses the most expensive pizza. DD says can we also get xx appetizer and cinnamon pull apartment. I’m thinking ok that’s fine we will share that. And then the bf chimes in and requests ANOTHER appetizer on top of what DD has requested.

Ok and here’s a Taco Bell order: “1 beefy fritos burrito and 1 shredded chicken burrito please, Also, can we do the party pack with the 5 layer burritos in the mix instead of the bean burritos”

I mean, is this really normal?

Especially, in OP’s words, “a lot of takeout.” That makes no sense.

When I order takeout for a kid's friend, I usually hand them the laptop or phone that we're ordering from. I don't expect them to take an inventory of everyone else's order. If I were concerned about the cost, I might say, "we already added appetizers to share and we have X here for dessert, so pick your entrees." But, an appetizer and an entree is not "multiple meals."

Even if your family has never considered ordering more than a sandwich from a fast food place, don't begrudge a 20 year old guy a soda and an order of french fries (or even an extra sandwich). This is not "so much food" for a kid that age.

Soda and fries is ok. An extra sandwich is a bit much.

A deluxe sandwich at chic fil a is like $4 max. BFD.

That’s insane. Who does that?

That’s not the question. Would you be fine with your kid ordering $75 of sushi for himself when a friend’s parent is buying? Or would you teach him better manners!

You should feel lucky that your daughter is comfortable having her boyfriend over and making her personal life known to you. This is a big deal and totally worth some extra food now and then.

I mean for fast food? No that’s normal. It’s a bit rude to order dessert with Thai, but he’s probably hungry! He’s young, I’d cut him some slack unless he is rude and entitled in other ways.

Taco Bell...

My son could easily eat an appetizer, two entrees with sides plus dessert and he is not overweight. I agree with others that you need to provide appetizers or additional sides and dessert if you don’t want him to order these to feel full. Or ask him to leave before dinner.
