[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids have particularly low blood sugar in the afternoon. That is why most kids (and adults) have an afternoon snack. Your kids are starving hungry and they have to watch everyone else eat ice cream while they are forced to believe they are too poor to eat when they are hungry. [b]Let me guess: You packed them low-calorie carrot sticks to eat instead. Hungry kids need more than rabbit food, especially when they've been very active all day. It's really cruel[/b]![/quote]

You have a very active imagination PP to speculate all this as fact.

$30 for overpriced good humor bars in a week is crazy compared to the tub of Eddy's on sale at the grocery store for $2.50.

OP. I emphasize. I think 7 is too young to truly grasp what's going on. I think the 9 y/o probably gets it, but gets caught up in the moment.
I think you need to find a happy medium - maybe 2 days of the week and build that cost into your savings for camp as a cost of doing business?
Maybe your kids could do extra chores in the build up to "earn" the money as others have suggested?[/quote]
