[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Read a few pages of the bacon thread and now I'm kind of getting the vibe OP is an almond mom, who has her very specific foods (organic, lower calorie, or whatever) and wants to bring just enough for her family, so that she can carefully monitor how much everyone eats and create a scarcity around the food. And God forbid if they run out of their food, and have to eat the regular people food like whole milk. It's that sense of control and that idea of "OMG, those other kids ate *so* much." If these two kids ate all of the snacks for the entire weekend in a matter of hours plus were served dinner, I'm guessing the snacks weren't that abundant in the first place.[/quote]

I agree. She brought an apple and a bag of carrots for the weekend. [/quote]

I don't think OP is an almond mom (she was frying bacon in that thread while the other family made oatmeal), but I do think she is very rigid about food and what counts as a "proper meal" i.e. people can't just grab cereal or make a sandwich with communal groceries on vacation; every meal has to be a home-cooked, sit-down production or you are lazy if you send your kids to grab a slice of pizza at the boardwalk, etc. [/quote]
