[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'd be happy to donate a few extra boxes of pancake mix so you can feed the other kids.  You can make the pancakes the night before and reheat them in the microwave or oven.  Or, bring a waffle maker and reheat the waffles in the oven/toaster.[/quote]

LOL it's so true.  We should start a gofundme so OP can scrape together the $10 required for her to be a good guest.  I'm feeling generous so I'll pitch in 10 cents which should put a nice dent in things [/quote]

I don't like the idea of standing at the stove making breakfast for that long, while the other parents don't offer to help, but that is just me. It's my vacation.

OP, it seems the other parents are angling to make you the bad guy for not wanting to "serve them", this is a terrible dynamic that you have set up by not speaking up.

Don't vacation with people who can't take care of their own kids. [/quote]
Most of us are thinking it doesn’t take a whole lot of effort to cook a few extra slices of bacon when you’re already cooking it. Nor does it take any effort on the OPs part for the teenagers to help themselves to the cereal box. She claims it’s not about money, it’s about serving others during her vacation. But most of us can see through that lame argument. What, 10 extra seconds to put 5 more slices of bacon on the cooking sheet? And unless she is serving it like it’s a five course meal, it is no effort. The kids come grab a slice off the plate with all the bacon. Easy.[/quote]

I think on the OP is annoyed about having to cook an extra batch of bacon for the kids. I bet the entire time she’s opening up a second package and frying up the bacon she’s getting resentful that she can’t sit down to eat her food... For people used to cooking for 3, doing twice or three times as much work feels like a lot.

Meanwhile, the other parents are rolling their eyes at OP’s gross smelling heart attack and hoping they don’t have to deal with it every day. The kids asking for a serving is a welcome relief so everyone can get it out of their system that day.

Regardless of whether resentment is building, there is where you would hope that an adult would have the life skills not to work themselves into a tizzy over having a child ask them for food, or having to cook a bit extra.  This is where therapy, medication, or just acceptance of basic social graces helps.[/quote]

Then why don't the other parents do their job and step in?[/quote]

How is that relevant to OP? [/quote]
