Anybody else fed children endlessly today?

3 Dses, aged between 10 & 15. All pretty tall (eldest is 6ft), all very lean (especially DS2). 15-year old is sporty, plays football 4-5 times per week, but none on this weekend.

We haven't been out for our planned walk today & I feel like they've done nothing but eat 🤣 They do a good impression of the Very Hungry Caterpillar! And I know it's going to get more over the next few years!

Going to do baking with the smallest 2 this afternoon & doing fish pie & apple/pear crumble for dinner. I will fill them up 😁

Are they eating because they are bored?

Don't they have friends to hang out with? I guess they are probably bored, most kids are out with their mates

My daughter has 3 boys age 18 16 and 15... they eat her out of house and home.. she has a huge freezer in the garage and huge American fridge/ freezer in house.. she has to make them all seperate meals a lot of the time ( ASD).. they are all tall and skinny too.. eldest works p/t at McDonald's ( he's at uni) so he gets a meal there.. this week his G/F is staying.. my daughter is forever having supermarket deliveries.. she's a single parent and works .. but it's never ending . I feel for you.

Probably a bit bored but mainly always hungry 🤣

We only broke up from school yesterday so deliberately not seeing friends today, plenty of that over the next 2 weeks! Heading out for our walk now, in truth I'm the one who is bored 😁

Most kids I know are having family days too.
