I don't get it

I think my parents have some aversion to places like Subway and Quiznos.

They ask me where I want to eat after church on Sundays and if I suggest Subway, the idea gets vetoed.

I'm asked where I want to eat and they say no?! It's not like I suggested some high end, dress fancy place.

So we end up at Taco Bell, Carl's Jr. or on the rare occasion, Jack in the Box.

I don't have anything against those places, in fact, nearly every Friday I get Jack in the Box on the way to work or Taco Bell on the way home, but don't ask me what I want for lunch and say no. I'm not asking you to pay for it. Just stop by one of the 3 subway locations we pass on the way home.



And yes, I am hungry. For Carl's Jr. this time.

This might be hard to do at first, but I think you need to start being a little proactively assertive with them. For instance, you might have asked them to stop by those places if they didn't want anything from there themselves.

I have done that and rather than it start an argument with my dad, which is undoubtedly will, I just tell them to forget it and we'll end up going where they (he) want to go.
