[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am interested in knowing whether this is a cultural thing among some white people. We are not white and our families keep feeding and feeding and feeding us and their guests.  It would be devestatingly rude for someone to be hungry in their homes.

However, I do tell my own young kids “last call” at dinner time only, because otherwise they suddenly decide they are hungry at bedtime as a stalling technique.[/quote]

Can we not make this a "cultural" (race) thing? It's clearly a control thing, a "frugality" thing, a food-issues thing, an OCD clean thing. Those dynamics cross all cultures and races and regions and backgrounds, so let's not with that. [/quote]

I appreciate you saying this. My parents are fine, didn’t abuse me, and I honestly believe did they beat they could to raise me. But! They do the whole kitchen is closed thing. This board is sometimes a good reminder that such behavior is NOT normal. It helps me realize why I don’t want to visit them (and also why I shouldn’t feel guilty about it even though they were good parents. You can only take so much. And I’d say your parents acting like you are nuts because you, DH, and two toddlers want to eat three meals a day is not something you should need to put up with.[/quote]
