I have to wonder what sort of crap people are fed at home that they
would like fast food burgers. My mother was very competent in the
kitchen... in the days when women stayed home and cooked. I was never
impressed with fast food. My brothers and I learned to cook. My son
was raised on good food and worked for a while in restaurants. He is not
at all into fast food.

FFS they are children! They certainly eat well at home and I like the
burgers there even though I'm not a devotee of fat food restos (Im
cooking a brace of pheasants with port and redcurrant jelly this w/e).
I also take them to conventional restaurants where they can interact
with the waiter and order their own choices.

I'm firmly on your side, Graham. My own grandchildren's parents never
take them to a FF restaurant (nor does my husband) - that's my
territory. They don't even ask me, I'm the one who suggests it! They
are learning to cook from scratch with me and their parents and I
don't experience a shred of guilt when I take them because all have
healthy eating habits.

Going to a fast food restaurant occasionally does no harm. It's
better than making the kids feel smug and superior to other kids, or
making them feel out of step with other kids and inevitably causing
them to sneak ff and lie about it.

Some years ago my grandchildren decided that McDo was not for them. It
was their decision after they had discussed *their* reasons (very valid
ones, I might add) between themselves.
I encourage them to argue with me, respectfully of course. It engenders
independent and critical thinking.

Hmmm did they wonder if it is better than feeling smug and superior to
other kids, and making them feel out of step with other kids and
inevitably causing them to sneak ff and lie about it as Janet sees it?

I would have told them, "You kids are full of shit. And no - you can't
borrow my guitar or my car or whatever the hell you're looking to git
from me! Now you punks get the hell out of my sight!"

My kids think it is neat to tell their kids they can't bring phones to
the table at our house. I think they really like the idea that they can
be away from their usual social routine.

They don't go very often!!!! They eat very healthily on a day to day
basis and on our last trip, we discussed the ingredient breakdown that
A&W prints on the tray liners. Once in a while does no measurable harm
and we cook and bake together otherwise.

One thing about kids: you don't want to make something all the more
enticing by making it forbidden. Better to do as you are doing and
treat it casually, giving them nothing to rebel against.

I took them a couple of times to a "family" restaurant that they enjoyed
with their parents and other grandparents but on the second occasion,
the batter on my fish was so salty (to my taste) that I decided that I
wouldn't take them there again. I explained why and they could see my
point and accepted the decision after some discussion. They were 6 and 8
at the time and I have always encouraged them to argue.
