[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These posts are so weird. The food in our house is for anyone who wants it. If lots of people like it, we buy more. If you can’t afford babybel cheese for your husband, you can’t afford it for the kid. Yes he is picky and skinny, I got that. I’m sure he doesn’t subsist on babybel alone. [/quote]

These posts are not weird to me!
Seems to be a common theme.

As a mother, "save" things for kids to eat- to the detriment of my own health. Save them the fruit, etc. Do we have plenty of money for all the fruit? Yes we do. It's just the cycle of purchasing and spoiling, I tend to save the good stuff for the kids.

My husband will also gorge on whatever he fancies/ is easiest/ etc. no matter how much other food we have.

The answer isn't to always "buy more". Sometimes the answer is that an item is a finite resource (no matter how much money you have!) and should be designated and rationed a certain way. There's no need for an adult or a kid to pig out on anything. [/quote]

DP.  I agree.  
I have a teenage boy who loves fresh fruit.  But he is allowed a finite amount.  I’m not going to buy 20lbs of cuties every week in the winter or 60lbs of peaches every week in the summer so that he can have as much as he wants and still leave some for the rest of the family.  We can afford it, but it would be crazy.  [/quote]
