To not take the DSC out with again to a meal in the near future?

[SulaHula]

DSC are picky and always have been. We took them to an activity they both wanted to do and stopped at a drive thru diner for food on the way. They are very limited in what they will eat but we went over the menu together and this seemed safe as it was a burger and chips kind of place. DSS ordered a burger, chips and milkshake. DSD ordered a fried chicken sandwich, chips and milkshake. They only ate the chips and binned the rest having taken one bite/sip. It's such a HUGE waste of food and money. There are six of us in total and meals out aren't cheap. It kills me to watch yet another meal make its way into the bin. I've told DH I just don't want to take them out again any time soon as I'm just sick of it. He thinks IABU. I've said we should just take pack ups for them when we do days out. AIBU?

Unless nostrils and bumholes have migrated because they’re freaky genetically engineered cows I reckon it’s safe to assume ...

At 16 and 13 they are just being arseholes plain and simple.

There must be some McDonalds PR people on here....or people have really believed the marketing messages. There isn't much worse that you can put in your body than high salt unbelievably processed meat. It's not really up for debate.

You can eat relatively healthily from McD's if you want to. You can swap the fried for a side salad. You can order grilled chicken salad as a main with a veg stick or fruit pieces bag as the side. You can have water or milk to drink.

I hear you! My partners kids are the same and it drives me mad. I know how hard it is because I had the worlds fussiest eater but I just think he's too lenient on them and let's them get away with being fussy - ie something they've eaten 10,000 time before suddenly isn't good enough and they don't like it. The waste of food and money grates on me something bad but it's also bending to kids that are just be a pain that also winds me up!
