dd2 (13) has got out of bed and eaten.....

[GunpowderTreasonAndSquonk]

16 (yes, SIXTEEN) pieces of toast,
a whole block of butter,
half a jar of marmalade.

And she couldn't be bothered getting the chopping board out so she buttered them all on top of the breadbin

grr

not dd2, she's 3.

DD1

Crikey, that sounds a bit exessive! It reminds me of articles I have read about people who binge and purge (a WHOLE BLOCK of butter??! ) That's not happening is it??

Sorry if I'm talking crap.. feel free to tell me so

she didn't eat the butter on its own... she spread it on the toast.

And she did ask the rest of us if we wanted some, it's just that we didn't.

I don't have any worries about her eating habits, she's just a teenager.

I didn't think she did eat the butter on its own. Sorry if I offended.

nah, it takes more than that to offend me

Just didn't want you to think that I had an undiagnosed ED kid on my hands

That was me as a teenager - I used to come home from school and eat piles and piles of toast dripping with butter. It's still my favourite food I think. Was quite a skinny thing too.

And my brother would buy himself fish and chips on the way home to eat as an afternoon snack before dinner.

Think I'll go and have a piece of toast now...

she's now had a banana and half a bowl of grapes and then she said to me

"is there anything to eat in this house? I'm hungry"

maybe she's got a worm.

Normal behaviour for 16.

She probably needs a bit of protein to fill her up.

I can't say I'm looking forward to having teenagers in the house from a food shopping point of view. When my brother and I were teenagers we always used to have a favourite food, like a particular yogurt, which would get eaten on the day the weekly shop was done. My Mum would keep buying larger quantities in an effort to have enough to last most of the week. Then, just when she had bought an industrial amount of it, we'd go off it and onto something else and it would sit uneaten for ages.

Haha I was like that. Bowls and bowls of cereal and bananas.

We had to have so many apples and carrots too. And I was 6 stone when I was 15... hmmm

Is she tall and thin? It's usually those that grow like weeds who do that.

I used to do that too - in my first year at college I used to quite regularly eat a whole loaf of bread with butter and jam in the evenings. And I was a willowy little thing!

I remember me and my brother devouring loaves of bread on a sat morning like that. Poor parents, paying for it all

I used to do this too.. but it was mostly when I had smoked a few joints & had the munchies

I still do Although I think even 16 slices of toast is beyond me.

Was it white bread - if so, prepare for a good old blood sugar crash!

ds (aged almsot 13) made himself rice pudding, well i opened the tin, and he cooked it, but left the heat onthe half empty saucepan.
queue - burnt saucepan
