It’s not about money. Really!
It’s just I don’t want to bring groceries for 10 people, I just want to bring enough for our family of 3. We are already sharing dinners.

Why do you assume that you'll be bringing all the groceries? Aren't the others bringing groceries too? If all of you bring groceries for 10 people, you'd be able to feed 30 people in that place. Obviously there's no need for that. Just bring a little extra than you usually bring.

Yes, but let’s imagine the situation that we all arrived and I brought groceries for my family for 3 days, but the other kids eat all our breakfast supplies on day 1. Then I have nothing left. I don’t want to eat their food, neither do they have enough for us.

Then the parents go to the store and buy you the groceries their kids ate. This isn’t on the kids, this is an adult issue. Or man up and have the convo with the adults and tell them in the past they’ve eaten all your food leaving nothing for your kids and you don’t want a repeat so they need to be sure to bring breakfast food for their kids.

If I traveled with them before and they liked a certain food I had, I would buy MORE to share.
I doubt the other families are aware that their kids eating your food is so upsetting to you.

If op, you really shouldn’t be traveling with these people.

I thought OP said she didn't know these people well? She's starting to mess up her story...

I don’t understand how OP thinks by sharing she will have to spend more time cooking. If you’re going for three days, each family pick a day that they do breakfast for everyone. Then you’re only cooking breakfast once. To have three separate families making three separate breakfasts each day is insane. Also, I’m Italian American and cannot even grasp telling a child he can’t have food. So weird.

We actually go hiking, swimming.

The only time I cook for large groups is holidays and when we host dinners. And that’s a lot of work. I’m not doing this on my vacation, sorry. Bring your own bacon.

Making bacon, eggs and toast is literally the easiest meal to cook. My ten year old can make bacon and eggs.

Again: this thread is making white millennials look really, really bad.

I am really not convinced OP is a white, American millenial.

Agreed. I'm not sure where she's from but if I had to guess it would be a very hard background. The opposite of the "pampered milennial" stereotype, that's for sure. Who else would be so stingy and desperate about food in today's day and age?

The gal with $200k in student loans who is house poor because she needed a $1M McMansion and a weekly housekeeper.

Really not getting that vibe. I'm getting "remembers standing in breadlines as a kid and now has issues with food rationing" vibe.

My friend’s kids do the same. It’s so annoying. I buy healthy snacks, they eat crap. Since it’s a pandemic I’d definitely keep food separate. I suggest bringing a cooler to your room Also putt your food in a bag and staple in a bag and keep in the fridge with your name on it.

OP here.

I personally would be horrified if my DC gobbled up all the others’ food. It’s incredibly rude and from the age of 10 and up I would expect some manners and tact.

It’s strange that never came up in this thread, but this just shows the American attitude that their kids are entitled to everything they desire.

How can you not feed poor little 6 feet tall 13 year old Johny if he’s hungry? You’re so cruel. Wow.

It's really not that rude and you sound like you need psychological intervention and are one crazy lady. Your kids will probably put you in a home and never visit as soon as they can

Oh, no, they were aware. They were like “we’ll buy you some more cereal when we’re out” and then “sorry, we couldn’t find a store”

How much does cereal cost? $5, TOPS, for the top of the line organic brands? And you're still crusty about it years later?

You need to go to therapy or be medicated. And no, I'm not joking.

Hello Vlad!

Tip: it’s Johnny, not Johny.

We get it: you’re over the political nonsense and just want to poke fun at Americans. Okay. But you need to try harder.

1. We don’t vacation in the forest. Next time go with OBX.

2. We never run out of bacon. American grocery stores have an entire aisle dedicated to bacon and eggs. It’s magical here. You should visit.

3. American men do cook. They aren’t allowed to just sit around drinking and smoking all day.

Good luck with your election tampering!

I find it incredibly rude. I would not allow DC to act like that. A this age they ship be able to delay instant gratification.

Well, she just referenced this as the "American attitude" that a kid would be fed by another adult from their foodpile, so I think that confirms not a spoiled American millenial.
