[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don't do this, but I think in our household one of the challenges would be does that make it "her" food, so then having to sort out what my kids could have or not have.  I prefer foods in our house to be available to all.  [/quote]

I'm the OP and I hadn't considered this. Great point. I guess I'd have to have a shelf in the cupboard and fridge that's hers. I have o honk about this more. Originally I had gone into this thinking that I would provide them with basic items and anything we have on hand and they would be buying their own special stuff (sodas, special candies, etc). But I feel badly when I don't make it to the grocery store for a few days. I've said a number of times "if there's something you need today, let me give you my card and you can go get it."  But she's never taken me up on it. So I thought rather than adding one more thing to my plate, I'd just give her a set amount.

I need to figure out how I want this to work and just be totally clear up front I think. [/quote]
