[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't care how you were raised, I can't imagine gobbling up all of dinner knowing that my teen is going to be hungry when he gets home. [/quote]

+1 We always save food for a family member if they're eating later. It's so rude not to.

Although my sister and our brothers used to get so annoyed with each other because she would save her dessert or part of her meal, then expect it to be there the next day. Of course they would eat it. I kind of see both points of view on this. She preferred to eat her portion at a different time, and they were hungry teens who wanted another helping at dinner that she wasn't eating. I guess it depends whether you're a "here's your share" kind of person vs. a "[b]it's dinner time everyone eat your fill[/b]" kind of person.[/quote]

I feel like this encourages strange eating habits--it's not really fair if someone isn't super hungry right at that moment to insist that they eat all their portion right then, otherwise it's open season for others to grab. Especially if it's dessert. It would just cause a scarcity mentality and overeating in some people. [/quote]

Interesting! My sister does have a scarcity mentality and I never connected the dots. No overeating though. She's always looking to see if anyone got more of anything than she did. Our mom used to joke that she counts strands of spaghetti. I love my sister but she's a real pill about this.

One time I visited her, and I had the last glass of a 99 cent 2-liter bottle of soda. Her family had a bit of it too, and we drank it over a few days. She tore me a new one. She went on and on about how it was a special treat and she didn't get any. Carrying on "Don't I deserve soda too?" I didn't know she didn't get any. It had been open in the fridge for a few days, so it was there for anyone who wanted it. I offered to buy a new bottle. Not good enough. I just couldn't understand this whole tearful rant about a 99 cent bottle of soda. She had plenty of money. I left early and didn't talk to her for a while after that.

Now I feel bad, like my brothers created this in her. [/quote]

No, that's probably something like autism or anxiety disorder. My daughter is like this.[/quote]
