"We don't have any food, can we go to Price Chopper?" I'm so sick of this comment. Currently there is an ample supply of junk for the kids: frozen pizzas, corn dogs, chips, burritos, ravioli, hot pockets, crackers, waffles, un-crustables, chicken pot pies, fruit, etc. Eli says to me today "When are we gonna go to Ma's (his grandmother)? We don't have any food and she makes the best spaghetti. All we have is watermelon and fruit." It wasn't annoying that he said Ma made the best spaghetti, she does. It's annoying that the boys ALWAYS say this. What the heck. I remember asking my mom this, but she NEVER kept as much junk food in the house as I do. She never had sugar cereal, I'm still resentful.
Do you think that it's a cry of boredom? Like adults eat when they're bored, kids maybe do too???? Does this mean I have to entertain them or buy them some more Cheese Nips? Parenting is exhausting and fattening :)
