No fast food, either. So we "went to town" and out to eat maybe 4-5 times a year, tops. My dad would complain that my mom's food was better the few times we did eat out.

We were on a tight budget growing up, but since we rarely went on vacations, it was one thing my parents splurged on. sandy on "Did you eat out much growing up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-out-much-growing-up#post-1640690 Fri, 16 May 2014 17:05:41 +0000 sandy 1640690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope, it was usually a treat. My mom worked, but always cooked dinner for us. We would maybe go out once a month - usually to Korean BBQ, Chinese (my favorite growing up!) or pizza. Fast food like McDonalds or Taco Time was a treat too. shopaholic on "Did you eat out much growing up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-out-much-growing-up#post-1640663 Fri, 16 May 2014 16:52:48 +0000 shopaholic 1640663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ All.the.time.

We had terrible eating habits when I was a kid, and if my dad was out of town 75% of our meals would be fast food or takeout. Not good!

There weren't very many restaurants in the area I grew up in. Going out usually meant Mcdonalds or Burger King and once in a while a Chinese restaurant. We ordered pizza a lot, though. Rocker2014 on "Did you eat out much growing up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-out-much-growing-up#post-1640556 Fri, 16 May 2014 16:06:19 +0000 Rocker2014 1640556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ At least a few times per month. Never fancy places, but my parents were very motivated to make sure we learned to behave well in public from an early age so they took us out regularly. My husband, on the other hand, never ever went out to eat with his family growing up so he LOVES going out to eat now and wants to do it all the time!

My dad made dinner every night. autumnlove on "Did you eat out much growing up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-out-much-growing-up#post-1640487 Fri, 16 May 2014 15:30:47 +0000 autumnlove 1640487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We didn't.

I was always excited about going out to dinner, there was usually a reason or occasion... not as much about "didn't feel like cooking" (which is our excuse these days) Mrs. Taco on "Did you eat out much growing up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-out-much-growing-up#post-1640467 Fri, 16 May 2014 15:19:18 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1640467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ With my mom, yes, all the time. She worked a ton and cooking was the last thing she wanted to do. When with my dad, no, he was on a tight budget so McDonalds was a treat. fancyfunction on "Did you eat out much growing up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-out-much-growing-up#post-1640465 Fri, 16 May 2014 15:17:44 +0000 fancyfunction 1640465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not a lot but maybe once a month or so? I always viewed going out as a treat. But we'd get take out like pizza, Chinese food, etc. maybe once a week. mrs. tictactoe on "Did you eat out much growing up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-eat-out-much-growing-up#post-1640449 Fri, 16 May 2014 15:11:09 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1640449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Kind of... not fancy places. My mom has always worked in restaurants, so I used to eat at her work all the time. When I was little it was Coco's and then an Italian restaurant when I got older. Lots of takeout, too. And lots of fast food. I think since my mom was around food and a kitchen all day she didn't want to cook when she got home, so she'd pick something up or sometimes make something quick.
