[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 331915, member: 6546"] GCVMom-- I think this is terrible on many levels... Number One--it's a bit of an insult to you and your cooking. A polite person would have tried it, and even if they didn't care for it, would have done their best to have a least a little bit out of respect for your effort at cooking something special and unique. Number Two--You had already made alternatives available to the special food you had prepared. Number Three--When the kids fixed themselves those alternatives, they didn't even finish THOSE, thus wasting even more food. Number Four--They then felt entitled enough to ask their Dad, who had already put in a very long day, to do this special favor for them and purchase more food, even thought hey had already wasted quite enough at home. Now I might be in the minority in my opinion here, but to me, this is more of a respect issue than a food issue....and perhaps a discussion needs to be had about respecting your parents efforts (making a special meal), their time (husband has such long hours at work and so few at home), and their money (no matter what your income, you certainly cannot afford wasting food at home in order to buy something out.) That's just my opinion... --DaisyFace [/QUOTE]
