[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Well dcum never ceases to fulfill my expectation that its 95% a$$holes.

FWIW we don’t prepare all their snacks but we are in the habit of them asking except for fresh fruit and veggies which they can freely have anytime. Other snacks foods, I say no if it’s 5 Pm and we’re eating dinner at 5:30, and I tell them what I think are good snacks for the day. They chop up the apple, serve the peanut butter, grab the yogurt. I’m working and don’t monitor, I just discuss it with them.

For those whose kids have free reign, good for you maybe we’ll try that. But some kids are better at portion control than others, I’ve seen that with plenty of friends kids who are mousy eaters. Mine will fill up so much on snacks that they won’t eat dinner foods — things Which they like When they’re hungry and include nutrition like veggies and proteins. I do also thing almost all kids eat way too much sugar, adults too for that matter, and I dont think it makes me mentally ill to teach older kids to consider that and balance out sugary items for the day. Do you all not teach your kids portioning, considering food groups, etc? Additionally and I know this is unique to us, my kids are prone to severe constipation. We’ve had allergy testing like crazy and there seems to be no cause. But I do admit it’s put me very on guard because I don’t care to keep taking them for X-rays of their intestines and multi year miralax regiments. To those whose kids can fill up o. Cereal and Mac and cheese and potatoes and sandwiches and not get severely co stoppages, lucky you. But for us it’s been quite a stress and unsolvable puzzle.[/quote]
I say this kindly, you are the cause of your kids "constipation."
You are definitely mentally ill.[/quote]
