We only recently starts getting her her own meal- definitely after she turned 2. And we just about always bring home at least enough leftovers for another meal, if not two, which makes the overpriced food a little more reasonable.

DD gets her own meal (she's 3). I usually get a kids meal and try to switch out the french fries for a fruit or veggie side.

DS is 13 months and usually just shares with me and maybe a few bites of DD's meal.

Sometimes he shares ours depending on what we get. Otherwise he gets his own and DH helps him eat it, haha.

We typically get her a meal. We all like to share when we are out, so we try to get her something we all want to try.

She gets her own meal.

We always order her own meal and then regret it because she fills up on our food!

No; DD is 13 mo so she shares with us!

Usually I share with DS - he's only 1 and I almost never finish my whole meal anyways. Except at Chic-Fil-a, but that's only because I want my chicken fried and French fries, but feel like he should eat a little healthier...

It depends. We mostly go out for breakfast and always get him his own meal because he's a big breakfast fan and will eat at least most of it (the kids breakfast at our favourite place is one egg, 2 pieces of bacon, toast and home fries, and he gobbles it up). Otherwise it depends on what we're ordering and whether he's more likely to share ours or get a better meal if we order him his own.

We get him his own meal usually or a side dish. He out-eats me most days... I shared lunch with him on Saturday and he ate almost the whole thing and was still scavenging for food off other plates.

If we order something for them, they share. But they still don't understand the awesomeness of most restaurant food (won't eat chicken nuggets or hamburgers or anything), so I still pack them pasta, veggies, and some fruit to eat when we go out. I also usually order fish so they will share my meal.

@LBee: Ummm, yes. E eats more than I do... and I'm 8 months pregnant. I honestly don't know how we will feed him when he goes through those teenaged growth spurts.

It depends. When we go for breakfast she just shares from our plates but usually gets her own meal for lunch or dinner.

My oldest does (3.5). She is a good eater and likes to try different foods. The baby is only 10 weeks so it will be a while before she would.

We aren't really consistent about it. It really depends on if we think she will like what we are getting. If so, we just share off our plate. If DH and I both want something that we think she won't eat (like a salad), then we get her a separate meal.

LO is 3 and gets her own meal bc I don't want to share
She's a good eater and will eat most of it...if not, we bring it home for another meal.

Depends on the restaurant, but kids meals are huge and can be overpriced. Sometimes, we order an appetizer or a side bc it's cheaper

DS is 2.5 and normally just eats off me and DH's plate. Kid meals are expensive man and he wouldn't finish it anyhow. It's a lot of food!

Yes, I stopped sharing long ago. I have a healthy appetite and would go home hungry. That's when I stopped sharing with them.
Now we order something for them to share. And either DH or I would order something we think they would like too for options.
We very very rarely order off the kids menu.

It depends on what DH and I are ordering. If we want things she won't eat, we order her something off the kid's menu or an appetizer. Otherwise we share ours with her and maybe get an extra side dish if we think the portions won't be quite big enough.
