[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of you have too many rules/restrictions about eating. As long as it’s a healthy snack, it’s not impacting the eating of actual meals and no one is obese, what’s the issue?[/quote]

Eating anything in the car is disgusting. I don't care if it is an apple or a bag of Goldfish or what. [/quote]

Unclench [/quote]

Enjoy your whiny, demanding kids and your crumb-laden car. Maybe you'll be as lucky as my cousin and get a nest of mice in your minivan.[/quote]

It’s kids of hilarious to see the person get so unhinged when people talk about eating in the car. [/quote]

It's "unhinged" to answer the question of "Did I create a snack monster" with "yes"? It's "unhinged" to think that eating in the car is gross? Huh. It's almost as if anyone who disagrees with you and doesn't share your exact perspective is crazy. Right, Donald? [/quote]

DP here. You are the one who said that eating in the car is disgusting no matter what. Your answer wasn’t yes yuor answer was that it was disgusting.

Perhaps if yur response had been “I don’t like having crumbs and the like in my car so we don’t eat in the car” you wouldn’t have gotten an “Unclench” response. To which you ersponded that the other posters kids (who you don’t know anything abut) are hiny and demanding and hoped that they ended up with mice in their car.

We eat in or car on occassion. It does lead to crumbs and a bit of a mess but that doesn’t bother me. The dogs ride in that car. We use it regularly for hiking, camping, all manner of sports and other activities. It ends up with dirty shoes, rained on coats, tents, dog slobber and wood bits from hauling fire wood. So it doesn’t bother me if the granola bar my kid eats on the way to baseball practice at 5 PM leaves some crumbs.

But that is my choice. If we are driving in your car and you say that you don’t allow food to be consumed we would, of course, honor that.

Different people with different ideas. But if you tell me that it is disgusting that I allow my kid to eat my car, I am going to be a bit offended.[/quote]

OK, so use your words and say that. Don't say "unclench," with its mysoginistic sexual subtext, or call someone with a different view from yours "unhinged," which is a dig at people with mental health issues.[/quote]
