I personally don’t get it. At my house and all my friends’ houses and the kids I babysat, there was plenty of snack food around, and nothing was off limits to anyone… with the exception of a diabetic little girl who had to eat carefully. I guess I get if mom wants to have some special treat on hand for herself, but then I say just hide it.
Kids are not responsible enough to have access to food…. Especially junk food. You dont just drop a bunch of snacks in a drawer and soda in the refrigerator. You have to monitor it and portion it. Its not starving your kids it’s keeping them healthy and balanced. The older they get the more they can have access to food and know their limits. Teenage boys eats a lot. I don’t have kids and I know this. I have to put certain things up when im around my nieces and nephews esp if i want to be a greedy ahole and not share. Kids dont wash their hands and can be nasty so no i dont want to share a bag of chips with them. Esp a teenage boy who touches his pee pee a lot. As a kid i ate breakfast, then lunch with a debbie snack or ring cookies, and then had dinner. Sometimes desert. And on the holidays I gorged.
