[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I commuted for two years with DC on metro.  As he got older I had to allow snacks even though I was worried about the germ factor. We were commuting home at snack time, it occupied him when he otherwise wanted to get up and play, and I always cleaned up after us.  I learned my lesson about not having a snack when we got stuck for 45 extra minutes (in addition to our hour commute) one day on the red line. From that point on I always has food on metro.[/quote]
If you're commuting home at snack time, you should be better prepared.  You should stop and feed your child a snack before you get on the train, especially since you KNOW that it's at snack time for your child.  [b]Why can't you give your DC a snack at the daycare before you leave?  That would tide the child over until you get home.    While I am sympathetic to the water on the hot day without A/C, this is just elitism.  Some rules just don't apply to us, so I'll break them because the rules are inconvenient.[/b]  You are just as disrespectful and bad as the teens who willfully ignore the rules.[/quote]

I agree.  I'm astonished at all of the people on this thread who think it's ok to do what is clearly illegal (and for good reasons).  It is NOT THAT HARD to go without food for the duration of a Metro ride, people.  Really, it isn't.[/quote]

I agree. I can't see why you would break a rule that you agree is a good rule. I get carrying food and if as one poster mentioned you get stuck on the train for some insane amount of time then yes by all means bring it out. But to give your child snack on a regular basis on the metro is just teaching your child that they don't have to follow rules or practice any self control.

Now I am also someone who rarely even lets my child eat in the car. The exception is when we are on long car rides. Otherwise he can eat before are after we get to where we are going. I don't want my car to be mess and I don't want the metro to be a mess either. [/quote]
