It’s manners. When I stayed at my then GF’s house, I would try to order last and gauge what to order based on what her parents ordered (and even then, try to stay on the cheap side for entrees).


Are you still neurotic? BTW, guests should order first or second. Not last.


Ummm that’s good manners not neurotic.

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?


Your family's diet is nasty. But really, if you need to count your pennies at taco bell, you should stop ordering takeout altogether.

DP. Most of us here are on a budget. I went through Jiffy Lube to change oil yesterday, they told me the filter is gross and showed me. I certainly changed it but it did give me pause that it was $40 extra.
OP do not give a thought to this comment on your diet. Do what suits your family. Boyfriend has no manners and only thinks of himself. He is rude. And no shame in counting pennies either!


Taco Bell IS nasty. OP is on a budget yet constantly eating junk takeout, treating people, then complaining about it. She's the one with the problem.


Adult boyfriend is taking advantage of the hospitality. Nobody likes being taken advantage of. Hopefully he at least offers to wash the dishes or help out around the house.

When I got Chick-fil-A the other night, he gets a combo plus another full sandwich. Tonight we are getting Thai and he’s getting an appetizer, entree, and dessert! I mean, I’d love a mango and sticky rice too, but all those extras add up. Is this kind of rude? His order is always the most expensive thing!

This reminds me to go tell my kids not to do this when being treated.
I guess his dad forgot too
Perhaps you might tell him in a gentle way.
Which entree would you like? We're just ordering entrees. Eventually he will get the hint.
So weird you couldn't figure this out on your own and take it is a personal attack of rudeness vs simply being earnest and not knowing

Shredded chicken burrito is also no longer a menu item.

Haha, you’re right...I did think about that! Also, the taco/burrito pack already comes with beefy 5 layer burritos and not bean burritos. Not saying it’s fake, but for such specific details OP’s recollection may be off.


$10 for 4 crunchy tacos and 4 beefy 5 layer burritos. So cheap it scares me.


Too rich for OP’s blood! 😂

I know this is a tangent, but a medium dominos cheese pizza has 1600 calories in it. The *average* teenage boy needs 2800 calories per day.

This is just a very rough estimate in many ways but I don’t think it’s necessarily odd for a teenage boy to eat an entire pizza.

Is her DS happy about having to share his pizza with mom?
And what is a cinnamon pull apartment?!

Who eats an ENTIRE pizza by themselves?


20 year old boys.

Mine don't actually and I am the mom of the kids who eat 4500 cal a day.
I am talking large pizza. They would eat half so 4 or 5 slices.


I have an 11-yo daughter, athlete, 4’11, slender/muscular, who eats four slices of a large pizza when we buy one. I imagine a lot of bigger boys eat more!


People always just disagree with every OP.

Most arent eating a whole pizza. You guys are liars.


How many 20 yo guys responded? I would guess none.

Anonymous wrote:He probably never thought about it. His family probably has enough money that when they order, they just order, and he’s also a young man who could probably eat the entire contents of your refrigerator. At a restaurant, an appetizer, entree, and dessert aren’t that gluttonous, so it’s not the worst thing he could do. Your kind of expecting him to order like a perpetually dieting female.

But if the money is an issue, then direct the ordering like a PP suggested.


+1
Also, I think it's rude that you are judging what a guest (a kid years younger than you!) eats at your place.
