Why Is Fast Food My Family’s Forbidden Fruit? 🍔🤔

Every Friday night, my friends hit up the local burger joint, but my parents? They shut down the idea faster than I can say "fries." Their reasons? Too expensive, too unhealthy, and not worth the hassle. I get it—they care, but sometimes it feels like I’m missing out on more than just a meal. I tried talking to them, calmly asking why they’re so against it. Each answer just made me more frustrated. I started researching healthier menu options, found coupons, and even offered to pay for myself. Still, it’s a battle every time. I even promised to eat more veggies and exercise, but the answer rarely changes. Honestly, it’s tough feeling left out when everyone else is bonding over milkshakes. Have you ever had to negotiate for something that seemed so simple? I’d love to hear how you handled it—maybe we can swap stories and tips. Sometimes, I just wish my parents could see it from my side. 🥤🍟 #FamilyStruggles #Parenting #TeenLife #FastFoodDebate #FamilyRelationships
