In most cases, they don't necessarily have to finish it there, but they know they are going to be eating the leftovers later. I remind them of this when they are contemplating their orders and it tends to lead to more reasonable selections. As 16-month-olds aren't reading menus and ordering, this doesn't really apply to them.Last edited by AR; 04-11-2022, 09:16 PM.

If I grew up flying first class and then couldn't because i was actually a poor med student, that would be a bummer
I'm a quite a few years away from that, but I don't expect that I'll actually buy them a car when they are teens. They will probably have use of our family vehicles and we may purchase more if we have more drivers. But it won't really be their car. And which of the family vehicles they can use will depend on their driving skill and intended use. But most of the time it will end up being the beater. But any beater I purchase would be of sufficient quality that I myself would not have any issue driving it. So I doubt it will actually meet anyone's true definition of a "beater".

If the daughter protests, ask her to come to the back to earn that extra income.

It's a bit different if one or two people in the party are offered upgrades. But to knowingly do it seems a bit weird to me. Not wrong, but weird. If I'm buying tickets, either everyone flies business/first class or no one does. .

My 2 yo loves ribeye (and liverwurst).
