[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless your small children are infants they do not need to be fed around the clock, every few hours.  Of course the kitchen is closed!  Your mom will be treating you all to a fabulous bbq dinner soon.  Why you would need to fill up on gross gas station food is beyond me.[/quote]
Young kids can’t go from 7 am until 4 pm! Do you have little kids? I’m not for the snacking all the time but this is crazy. [/quote]

This is why there is a serious obesity epidemic.  Young children do not need to eat greasy convenience food.  If they are hungry between meals they should get an apple out of the fruit bowl, sit on the front doorstep and have a nice, healthy, nutritious snack.  They do not need a bacon, nacho cheese, funion burger.[/quote]

Keep trying, babe. I'm 5'8" and weigh 145. I run every day. My kids are both big swimmers and are active at play.  Those of us who are *active* need regular meals at regular meal times. My kids are bean poles, by the way. Sorry that you have family members who are obese or struggle with weight yourself, as your projections and vitriol lead me to believe.

We ate a nice meal at Panera and will eat a NORMAL amount of food later; we don't do the two plates of food and two plates of pie thing that a lot of people do at BBQs and other special occasions.

Do you get it--the kitchen is CLOSED, as in no apple from the fruit bowl. My mom seriously closes the kitchen--no small cubes of cheese to go alongside celery for a snack, which is what we would do when meal times get thrown off by holiday schedules at home if we were, say, going to my aunt's house for a holiday meal at an odd time.

My mom has every right to close her kitchen. She does not have the right to complain and try to keep us home when we get in our own car and take our own kids out for a decent meal.

Maybe you're the gorge-r type who goes back for seconds and even thirds at Thanksgiving or holiday BBQs or what have you. We don't eat like that. People who "fill up" at buffets gross me out. Sounds like you're the type.[/quote]
