[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't restrict food and especially not after school because often they really are just very hungry. But my rule with snacks is that it's fruit/veggie and/or protein only. So a fruit packet, blueberries, apple slices with peanut butter, carrots and hummus... all good. No crackers or foods that are primarily carbs. We have those with meals and I know she gets crackers as snacks at school, which is fine. But if she's asking for snack after snack but just wants crackers, Pirate's booty, etc., I take this to mean that she isn't hungry but bored. So I offer the fruit/veggie/protein and if she won't take it, I say she must not be that hungry.

But if she wanted blueberries and carrots and yogurt? I'd be fine with that even if it meant a smaller dinner. It's all good food, and if she's hungry, she's hungry.[/quote]

The women is DRIVING home.  He is wanting all these snacks on the 25 min car ride it takes from school to home.  Just no.  He can wait.  Really, he will live, your car will cleaner, and you will stop the expectation of getting to eat in the car all the time.  Super annoying and unsafe for the driver to be rooting for snacks, he dropped something and wants it, he spilled something and cries, etc. [/quote]
