How often do you feed your kids take out food?

We order in dinner about 3x a week or so. DS eats pizza, Thai, Chinese food, etc. with us. All of DS' breakfast and lunch meals are homemade.

DH and I literally used to eat out 6 out of 7 nights a week before DS was born.

Re: How often do you feed your kids take out food?

Not often at all... I think once a week is a lot for us. Maybe 2 x a month?

ETA: It used to be a lot more, but since DD, we try and save money by cooking at home.

Re: How often do you feed your kids take out food?

Mine have never had it. They have had food at restaurants if we went spur of the moment but thats it

Re: How often do you feed your kids take out food?

Maybe 1 or 2 times a month. I try to avoid it.

Re: How often do you feed your kids take out food?

breakfast never
lunch once a week...a standing playdate

dinner-maybe pizza once every 2 weeks.

Re: How often do you feed your kids take out food?

rarely.

We go out to eat with her usually about 1 per week, she will either share my dinner with me, or I'll order her something for her.

Re: How often do you feed your kids take out food?

Pfftt. Plenty

Kaydyn eats it about once a week, sometimes twice, but she really doesn't like it anymore. She will eat fries whenever but now when we offer her chicken nuggets she says no a lot of times.

We generally get McDonalds breakfast once a week and she has their pancakes, and then maybe one fast food dinner during the week.

Re: How often do you feed your kids take out food?

Maybe once a week. We have been going out for Thai food every Friday night (or as DS calls it, Thai Poo).... and sometimes we will order in pizza, but that is not weekly.

Not very often - Once a week?
It really depends on our week and how crazy things get.
DH and I usually eat late though, so I almost always feed Sean WAY before we eat dinner. -

Re: How often do you feed your kids take out food?

We do pizza once a month or so, and chinese once every few months.

We only do McDonalds when we travel (like from NC to NY, etc).

We go out to restaurants maybe once a month or once every other month.

That's about it.

Re: How often do you feed your kids take out food?

Never!

Re: How often do you feed your kids take out food?

1-2x's a week

Re: How often do you feed your kids take out food?

We usually do pizza maybe once a week. If it was up to her she would it eat for every meal.

Re: How often do you feed your kids take out food?

We have pizza once a week. Other than that, if we do take out, they eat before us.

We do go out to lunch or dinner about once a week, they'll usually have grilled cheese.

Re: How often do you feed your kids take out food?

We don't do much take out that involves the kids. I'll make thems something at home if DH and I are getting take out. Maybe 1 a month they get McD's for lunch.

We do go out to dinner probably 4 times a month and they order off the kids menu. For the most part I cook every night.

Probably once or twice a week on average. Usually pizza after a little league game and we often stop at a restaurant or snack stand when we do fairs or movies or whatever event/activity we do on the weekends.

Ditto!

Re: How often do you feed your kids take out food?

We go out to dinner on the weekends a lot so DD will have that when we go out, but haven't ventured over to Chineese or thai food yet...I give her plain things off a menu...occassionally if I don't feel like making her lunch I'll pick some pizza up for her..but I would say 95% of the time her food is what I make her...She had fast food for the first time this weekend bc we were driving home for 5 hrs from out of town and had nothing else, and she hated it

Re: How often do you feed your kids take out food?

Hardly ever, maybe twice in the last 6 months.

Re: How often do you feed your kids take out food?

it depends on what you mean by take out?

I can say that over my dead body will my son EVER eat fast food (or at least while he is still a baby/toddler. once school bday parties, start...I guess I'll hve to chillax). My dh threatens to bring him to McDonalds every day but I thnk I will lose my **** if he ever did it. for me, in this issue, there is no such thing as moderation.

we go out to eat about once a week or so...Luce has already had avocado sashimi from a sushi restaurant, pancakes from a dinner, and beets, pears, and potato from an Israeli restaurant.

we eat at places that serve fresh healthy food. thankfully a lot of the restaurants in my nabe cater to those who eat organic/hormone/pesticide free as I do in my home.

this is something I am fanatical about. some people don't care...I do. immensely.
