    I hope this posts because my last one didn't. :-( anyway I work 2nd shift & I have to take my dinner with me because I get one 15 min break. As i'm getting ready to get in the shower I see ds9 sitting at the table mindlessly eating chips. I tell him if he's really hungry he needs to eat 'real' food. He gives me a sad face & says ok. I tell him he can have a few chips no big deal but I don't want him eating the whole bag. I get in the shower, get ready for work. As i'm running out the door I go to the fridge to grab my dinner. Its gone. I look around & see the empty container in the sink. Yep he ate my dinner. His reasoning? 'you said you wanted me to eat real food'. Can't argue with that can you? *sigh* I had grapes for dinner. no time to fix anything else

    Ahhh I hate it when that happens ! DS scarfed down my dinner the other night. I was sure he would be asleep for a while and I would fix him something when he woke up. He woke up right when dinner got done, you want to share with mommy, sure. He is 4 how much would he eat ? ALL OF IT!!! At least I had a frozen pizza to heat up !

    My lunch today was last nights left over salad. The boys suddenly decided they wanted lots of salad last night (haven't other nights!). I had to take it away and say NO more salad for you two! That's my lunch! Lol. They are 6 and 8. Go figure ...

    Haha, we started doing tax when my oldest was around 1.5.  Basically his daddy and I wanted to taste what he was eating so we would take a bite and say mommy or daddy tax.  When he was about 3 he went and took some food off my plate, just as I was about to get on him about touching my food he goes, "Zimmy tax." Can't really argue with him on that one.

    @momofdbb and aloneoverseas,  I can so relate.  I can't tell you how many times I've lost my meal or dessert to not one but two little boys or didn't make a lot of something because from past experience they just were not that into it only to have them all of a sudden love it leaving me with next to nothing for lunch the next day.  Haha....

    Guess it wasn't meant to be. Said something to dh about it & he said he saw the empty container in the sink & looked for more in the fridge. He said if ds hadn't eaten it he would have. Oh well. :-S

    I would be SO annoyed if my son did that! But I deal with the opposite problem. My kid is almost 9 and he eats like a bird, and only certain things. I wish one day I could say no more salad for you! Haha. It bugs me that he eats the same stuff and won't try all the food I cook.

    I'm really lucky with mine, there's very little she won't eat, @Bassmom, even at 3, she's always been a good eater, and loves things that I won't even eat!
    Bite me, cupcake!
