"Can we go to Pizza Express? Pizza Hut is a bit common and low quality"

[Edieandkoala]

Says Ds friend to me just now. Apparently, his family 'don't do' Pizza Hut.

Wibu not to take the ungrateful git anywhere for lunch now?

First time he's been to our house. So far, I've been told how small it is, asked how much dh earns, asked if this is a council house and asked why we didn't wait to have baby dd until we had a bigger house.

Ds is mortified.

Make up that urgent appointment and take him home.

Rude little oik!

The Pizza Hut comment is neither here nor there really - but the stuff about the small house & not waiting is appalling!

I've got vouchers for Pizza Hut though! Ds won them at a charity thing. Sod him, I'll take ds for dinner.

They are 2 sides of the same coin.

He sounds awful. His family obviously don't do manners or consideration either, I'd be mortified if my sons said that ( but there again they'd be biting your hand off to go Pizza Hut).

There are a lot of kids like that round here. The parents are far worse!

I've never said this to anyone on MN before but....

Move house now!!

I agree about Pizza Hut but he sounds bloody rude!

Hinbu on the choice of pizza establishment but otherwise, hmm. Instead of just telling him that he is rude, have you explained why those questions are rude?

tbh i would be dropping him home and telling his parents that he was VERY rude

My DS had a friend a bit like this. He used to inspect his friends' socks when they went into his bedroom to make sure that they wouldn't taint his £500 water bed. And would constantly tell us how much his Dad earned, and point out that we couldn't afford to send our son to the £9000 school that he went to. £9000 worth of vile manners. Give the ingrate a dry crust and a kick up the backside.

Your poor DS. What a tit his friend is.

I would drop him off and let him and his parents know what a rude little shit he is.

Blimey!

Take him to the dodgiest, roughest kebab shop you can find, buy lunch there and insist on eating it outside on the pavement.

Oh yes Pizza Hut stuff very rude as well, but not as personal as the small house etc.

I know people always say this but IS he on the spectrum & just stating facts as he sees them? Because he seems old to be so unaware. If so I'd be equally factual back 'we can't afford a bigger house and it's rude to make that sort of comment'. If not I'd send him home & go for lunch with DS.

I'd give him plain oatcakes and water and send the money saved to a good charity.

Yes, take DS for dinner once you have dropped the entitled rude child home, early.

I would be telling his parents. Shocking bad manners.

Not that there's anything wrong with a dodgy, rough kebab shop, btw. I frequent a local one myself (excellent lamb chops).

I just like to imagine the little treasure's face when he gets there.

Extra points to you if you refer to it as a 'restaurant'.

His parents are going to be mortified when they hear that!

Sadly I doubt it - where do you think the kid got his attitude from if not his parents?

Send the wee bugger home!

I would serve him hoops on toast and take ds out for a feast at Pizza Hut when the boy goes home

My 12 year old by the way begs for Pizza Hut if I suggest pizza express. Something to do with the ice cream factory I think..

he asked how much your husband earnt?
ffs
send the rude little shite home to his shitey parents

Please do feedback to the parents, hopefully they will be mortified even if he isn't.

Give him a ham sandwich for lunch and let him eat that instead cheeky blighter.

Haha. Wow. I love Pizza Hut. Could spend hours at their all you can eat buffet.
Not sure what I'd do. I think I'd either tell him Pizza Hut is for lunch so he can either eat or sit there and be hungry, or take him home and tell his mum that he was being constantly very rude

I assume he is simply repeating what his parents say. However, by the age of 12, you'd think perhaps he might realise that repeating such opinions is rude.

If he knows he's being rude and simply doesn't care, then certainly drop him home. If he's just repeating what his parents say and doesn't realise how offensive he's being, then perhaps explain why it isn't a nice thing to say and if he seems apologetic, then let him stay?

Honest to all things holy and green, Id tell the damn parents.

I couldnt care less if it meant they never spoke to me again, Id hope they were suitably embarassed by what their son had said and that they would have a word in his shell like ear.

Are you taking him back early OP?

I would be dropping him home early and telling the parents why.
