[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in a house where meals were saved but snacks, etc. were always first come first served. It instilled bad eating habits and food hoarding behavior in me and both of siblings.

As an example - parent would buy a box of ho-hos (or similarly cherished 90s treat). There are 10 in the box so theoretically in a family of 5 everyone gets two. Well in my family of 5, you better eat both of yours AS SOON as the box crosses the threshold of the kitchen or there's no way you'll get even one. Didn't matter if you actually wanted a treat then- eat it now or miss out. We would also hide food and sneak it upstairs to ensure we got our "fair share."

I live differently in my house as an adult. Rarely does someone finish the last of any snack without at least offering some to whoever else is home. A quick "any objections to me eating the last slice of pizza?" text is common. We all care for each other and make a point to save some if something is someone's favorite or if we know they haven't gotten any or have plans to eat it. [/quote]
