I forgot what he wanted to order, but I made him eat a sandwich. One of my pet peeves is wasted food.
I'm exactly the same way. My daughter knew better than to ever waste food, and litter too.

and litter too.
At a diner last month, I had a waitress tell me kids should be free to make their own decisions. This was after I shot down my kids order and ordered for him. I asked her if she had any kids ... no. Was she married ... no.
I didn't ask her the most important question ... are you paying?
Why did I take over the kid's meal? Well, our next stop was several hours off. I did not want the kid eating 3 french fries and going around hungry the rest of the day.
So I'm wondering ... how many people out there give their kids free reign to do and say anything they want at school, home, or in public. Am I the only caveman that thinks my roof, my rules? Is it too much to expect parents to parent?
ZHey DC, how 'bout you get started on littering and respecting other people's property?...lol
There will come a time when you are not there to make decisions for your kids. Just like hitting 10s, if they haven't had practice doing it, they won't know how.
. . Also all kids, especially young girls, needs to learn that "no" will and should be respected. If parents, especially fathers, always argue and change nos to yeses, then it becomes very difficult for girls to say no to sex, drugs and alcohol.

Interesting, I can't say I agree with it, but I do find this thought-prevoking.
That's a good and healthy choice.
That's why half the country is obese.
So when are you guys taking me out to dinner so I can take three bites then order dessert?
So far, so good. The boy hasn't missed a trash day since the X-box ban.
He better hope the power never goes out for weeks on end......it would kill him....
Power is no problem. Running out of ammo would cause thumbsucking.
