[quote=Anonymous][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]

Because my kid doesn't eat.  There are only about 5 things I can get him to eat for certain, and its a crap shoot whether he'll eat them or not at preschool.  I've tried introducing new foods, only to be met with them being thrown on the floor, every time.   So instead of letting him scream while we ride home and then feeding him, I bring along a snack on the train to tide him over.  I also clean up after my children because I realize it's not a restaurant and there's noone to bus my seat for me.[/quote]

If he doesn't eat, then why is he eating on the train?

When do you plan to introduce him to rules?

My dog doesn't like the leash, but too bad - there are leash laws, and I'm not going to inconvenience the public for her comfort.[/quote]
