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

[realhousewifeoffitzrovia]

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)?

OP you are funny. And I am beginning to agree about the fake tan.

Yabu and weird.

Why would parents order food after puttings kids to bed? That's cruel. Why can't a family enjoy a take away together?

It's cruel?

What? What on earth are you talking about?

OP is musing in a mildly amusing way. It used to be what AIBU was about.

I am howling with laughter at this thread.

Seriously? You got your knickers in a knot over a pizza???

I don't get the musings though I am usually quick on the uptake but not today

I had takeaway Chinese with some friends once. Never again. Before we'd had a chance to even look at it, they had dumped all the different dishes on one plate and mixed them up together. It was abhorrent.

That's barbarism

I don't think I could be friends with people like that

I am very protective of my food. That would have made me cry :(

I know. All the joy was sucked from that meal. It was just a mess

Mixed them up? Oh dear.

I'm distrubed by that.

A good chinese ruined. Tragic.

Was there lemon chicken?

What a weird thread! They are asleep-order what you like!

This thread has given me a good giggle.

It's only me and DS (7) and we have occasionally got a takeout (about twice a year!) - it's always chinese as it does both of us with leftovers for him the next day for under a tenner.

I pizza costs more than that.

Pizza we tend to buy a tesco value - then do half of it each with what we want from the fridge!!

It depends on what you want to eat, surely.

No-one's going to say 'Ooh, I really fancy a pizza - but the DC's are in bed. I don't really want to eat a Chinese / Indian takeaway, but as the DC's like pizza, we can't have pizza ourselves.'

I think the mixing a little bit of what ever everyone has ordered is the best bit of getting an Indian or a Chinese! Why only have one thing when you can have a little bit of lots of different yummy things?

I don't think you understand LFata - it's not about everyone sharing and having a bit of everything on their own plate to mix as they pleased, everything was dumped into a big pile and mixed up.

LaFat - yes, I agree that one wants to sample. But one wants to do it oneself and not have the dishes literally dumped on the plate and mixed up

Ah, I see Trill already said it

why do you way to know???? No seriously, you can ask all of Ma'amsnet anything you want and you choose this??

ps. I'll have a napoli please

Sometimes I eat chocolate when the DCs are in bed, and they LOVE chocolate .

We have pizza most Saturday nights with the DCs. The have tesco cheese feast, and think its the best thing ever! Until they realise otherwise I won't be wasting Dominos on them ordering pizza takeway.

Chinese/Indian are always to be enjoyed once DCs are in bed, preferably in large quantities...with plenty of beer .

Erm.. I like pizza. Dd is only 20 months old and too young for salty takeaway pizza. Good enough?

we order and collect pizza after our son is in bed as he is 9 mths and i want him to have a better diet than us.
