Could you help me reconcile this statement please?

MOM, There is NOTHING to eat!



Granted, we are out of milk and fresh vegetables. But NOTHING to eat is a little extreme don't you think, And I didn't even open either of the freezers to show what is in there!!!

  3. As in, "Mom, there are no sugar coated, chocolate frosted, coconut bombs to eat." Or, "Mom, we are totally out of triiiple-cafinated, sugar-loaded energy drinks." Or pehaps it actually means, "Mom, could you peel a banana for me and serve it on a crystal plate- I'm just too lazy."
    Huh? You think?

  5. I think what they said was, "Mom, I'm bored and need some hard manual labor so that in a few hours when my stomach is really empty, The food that is available to me will look soooo good"

  6. I am thinking I might let the pantry run out, take them all to volunteer at a food bank, then at the end of the day, go to the store and buy exactly what the foodbank handed out that day, and make them survive a week on that... HMM?

  10. I know what you mean! Somewhat understandable with the younger teens, but shocking with my grown niece and her now husband who were living with us while they attended college. We spent hundreds on groceries (no kids at the time), the fridge was always full, but it wasn't the prepared perfectly by her mother's dinner that she wanted. Finally I told her "I'm your young aunt not your mother, grow up, make something". Things were much better after that. They moved out on their own the next year, only to ask to come back several months later because "things were just too expensive". Ya think!
