Mostly for financial reasons though. The idea back then iirc was to have a family house and the eldest son would inherit. Why move out just to move back in later?

Tipping Having a meal "your way" (substitutions / altering a meal in a restaurant) Accepting a gift without trying to decline it first Not accepting food Eating everything on your plate If I couldn't have it my way at a restaurant I wouldn't eat out at many places. It's just good business. People just need to understand that do q custom order it may take a tad longer. I agree with eating everything on your plate if you dictated the portion sizes.
