to think it's uncommon for a couple to order pizza once dc are asleep?

If the dc are asleep and the parents wanted to order a takeaway, wouldn't Indian or Chinese etc be a more obvious choice than pizza (which is often eaten with the dcs anyway)?

My children don't like pizza.

You need to get a hobby or something.

my 2 wouldnt eat pizza so would order it if they had gone to bed. I would prefer Indian food though

BellaOfTheBalls · 05/06/2012 09:32

Depends on age of DCs. I would want my DS1 (4) eating takeaway pizza anyway.

This seems a really odd question to ask. What if they just fancy a pizza?

BellaOfTheBalls · 05/06/2012 09:33

Wouldnt*

FoofFighter · 05/06/2012 09:33

errr no. is pizza only for children then?

why is this bothering you so much you had to post about it? Confused

squeakytoy · 05/06/2012 09:33

why on earth would you give this any thought? Are you one of the DC being denied some pizza???

eurochick · 05/06/2012 09:34

What an odd question. We always make pizza rather than order it in as it is nicer that way, but we enjoy eating it. And we don't have any children!

Bonsoir · 05/06/2012 09:34

I think you need to get out more, OP!

ObiWan · 05/06/2012 09:34

No, I don't suppose it is uncommon. If you want pizza, why would you order Chinese?

My children eat all sorts, but my decision on what to eat isn't influenced by whether they are awake or not.

Psammead · 05/06/2012 09:34

Eh?

Dprince · 05/06/2012 09:34

Maybe people fancy pizza? Are you serious?

midori1999 · 05/06/2012 09:35

Why? Is chinese or indian more 'grown up' or something? Confused

My Dh and I like pizza. Sometimes if we order a takeaway once the DC are in bed it is pizza. Sometimes it is something else. I didn't think we were that unusual.

WTAF?

Respect people's rights to want pizza!

Plonker · 05/06/2012 09:35

Erm, okaaay ...

WheresMyCow · 05/06/2012 09:36

What if you don't fancy Indian or Chinese but could really eat a slice of meat feast, some garlic bread and some wedges...mmmmmm now I feel hungry Grin

YABU,the pizza orderers aren't

ThatsYouThatIs · 05/06/2012 09:36

I'd also share a Chinese or Indian takeaway with the dcs so not sure how they differ to pizza.

RationalBrain · 05/06/2012 09:37

I imagine that once the kids are asleep, parents can have a precious couple of hours ordering whatever the hell they want. It's not all about the children you know!

AllOverIt · 05/06/2012 09:37

What a bizarre thread Hmm

SugarBatty · 05/06/2012 09:37

What's promted this?!?

My dd would rather have curry anyday.

usualsuspect · 05/06/2012 09:38

My teenage DS orders his own pizza,is that ok?

QuickLookBusy · 05/06/2012 09:39

Surely they can order what they like?

Northernlurker · 05/06/2012 09:39

If we want something delivered we go for pizza. Chinese and Indian we usually have to fetch. We ALWAYS do this after dcs are in bed. Because we are cruel obviously.
