think I should take my son out to chinese buffet lunch?

[MissMillie]

or should I go by myself?


maybe it would be an effective bribe to get him to do the vacuuming....

[fizzgig]

1. it could be a nice treat for the two of you

get a chance to sit down and talk

and yes, probably an effective bribe too

enjoy your lunch :hi:

[zingaro]

2. Take him.

It's always more fun to eat with someone else.

Well, unless they're open-mouthed chewers.

So if that's the case, then leave him home and take a good book. :rofl: Either way, enjoy.

3. Does yours actually eat there? Mine whine about how they want chicken burgers and fires from

Wendy's :eyes:

[MissMillie]

6. My son's 20... he'll eat there

but he'll fill up on chicken wings and beef w/ broccoli, and noodles

[GreenPartyVoter]

7. I'll get back to you when mine are that age. Let you know if they actually eat chinese food by then

:P

8. Mine loved Chinese food from the time he could eat solids

(That may have been partly because of having a Chinese babysitter, of course, who fed him lunch) but at the age of 8 he developed a taste for escargot with garlic butter.

9. Wow, I am feeling for you. My 5 y/o BEGS me to take her there

She does eat the occasional burger and fries (or oranges), but for some reason she inhales the fried rice and will ask to go there a lot. I'm sure the fact that ours has an ice cream machine helps, too! :D

[GreenPartyVoter]

13. Mine don't eat ice cream either. Or cake. You should see them at their own b-day parties.

:eyes:

[skygazer]

4. Leave him to do the vacuuming

And take me out to a chinese buffet lunch. :9

[MissMillie]

5. works for me

:hi:

10. my kids love chinese buffets

boys 12 and 16
if the buffet is big enought there has to be something they would eat.
sweet and sour chicken without the sauce is chicken nuggets
Actually some sort of chickeny nugget with sauce is a big theme at chinese buffets.
had some trouble getting them there the first time but once they figured the buffet out...
they can pack it away like free beer at a frat party

11. Take him. Just remember: Grab and move! Grab and Move! Grab and move!

[UndertheOcean]

12. Don't Go! its extremely unhealthy ! Even the ones that don't add MSG

Just thinking about all that stir-fried stuff hardens the arteries.

If you have to eat out find a good health food establishment in your area , they do exist !

[China_cat]

14. Stir fry take a tablespoon of oil at most

for portions that will feed 3 people. It's one of the healthiest ways to fry anything. Not to mention that the vegetables that are stir-fried aren't cooked to mush, they're crisp and colorful.

Good health food establishment? Little selection, no condiments. Sure, no salt, no fat, no taste. I'd find my holiday cards have more flavor.

And, quite frankly, depriving yourself of things that taste good all the time only serves to help make binge eaters. Everything in moderation. INCLUDING moderation.

[SPKrazy]

15. so did you take him

and did he vaccum?

[MissMillie]

16. yes I took him

he vacuums tomorrow

[zingaro]

18. Darn it. Now I really

really want Chinese food.

Tomorrow, I guess.

[Critters2]

17. Take me! Take me!!

Do they have those spinach pastry puff things? Man, I love those!!

[lildreamer316]

19. Ohhh..now I'm hungry.

Eh, take him.
