I hope you don't throw the cheese at their face you cruel man.
Okay Tommy, 1 through 10. Pick a number now or youre going to bed hungry. Hurry.
Uh uh uh
I already ordered. Sorry son, maybe tomorrow.

Lol I like this better than your op. Kids often are the center of the universe though because they actually haven't learned properly the concept of other people. So they do exist in a me,me universe . But you have to teach them out of it gradually not yank them from their reality
Growing up I had an Aunt like this. Same thing every time at burger places which is the only place she would ever take any of us. Whatever the smallest hamburger was and well done.
We're living in an age where "order your kid a variety of things so they don't just get bland kids menu food" is a controversial take
The average kid is not going to venture outside grilled cheese and chicken fingers if you leave them to their own devices

I already know what my kids will and won't eat but I still let them have some options. I'd really like them to be more food adventures but just like they mom they stick to the same food choices lol.
Just take a sack of chicken nuggets wherever you go, OP. When you find some indecisive kid at a restaurant just dump some nuggets in front of them, problem solved.
Maybe carry a canteen filled with mac 'n cheese too.

See this is where this thread should've gone and instead we've got the Battered Dads Union raining down lmao
No one eating with you to vent to about waiting too long to order OP? Venting here works, just comes with a payment of judgement.
My kids can choose what they want before the waiter is ready to take the order, how is it any less time efficient?
The most important question and the fact that it hasn't been answered speaks volumes. The only perfect parents are the ones without kids.
Weekends are tough when you have kids, lol. I miss sleeping in.
Beanning builds character... good choice.
Does the Op come across as a man with friends?
We ask our kids what they want before the server gets there and then order for them when the server arrives. Best combination of giving the kids choices and not wasting our servers' time.
Sorry dog but this topic is weird and dumb, there is no way to be helpful in this exceedingly stupid case unless a mod locks and kills this thread which is just an outlet for you to complain about not being served immediately at a restaurant
Think resetera could dominate in a pettiness olympics
Or you could also, you know, fuck off, mind your own business, and let the kid order what they want. Totally viable option...
Oh you'd be surprised.
As an actual parent, if you want time efficiency then you don't have children.
Giving them choices is important. If you can't understand why then it's best you;'re more worried about your own time efficiency.
Reminder that every 2 months or so ERA has a thread about someone getting their jimmies rustled over being told "Bless you" after a sneeze.
You're preparing them for real life as an adult.
But yeah, OP's advice sucks. Let them decide what they want.
OP probably stubbed their toe on the way into the restaurant as well!
The kids choosing their own meals had no real bearing on the timing here. Have them choose early, communicate that to the server at the same time as the parents' order, problem solved.
But I don't think that's actually your problem, considering how upset you are about parents being "pushed around" by kids.

I always thought you should just give them like, 3 choices? They still get to choose and it should be easier.
Shit my wife and I play that game ourselves trying to figure out dinner. One person picks 3 places and the other person picks one of the 3. No bullshit choices that the other hates though.

It's really inefficient to go to a restaurant at peak lunch hours. OP should know better.
Let's be honest, going by this thread it's clear OP needs help. Getting angry because a kid wants to choose their food, haha.
