Snack time in my house is like a miniature version of Black Friday at the supermarket. The kids race to the pantry like they just heard there's a limited-time offer on cookies. I try to explain the concept of moderation, but it's like trying to explain quantum physics to a goldfish. They just stare at me with those innocent eyes and say, "But I really, really love cookies." I tried to hide the snacks once, thinking I could control the distribution. Big mistake. It was like a covert ops mission for them. They found my hiding spot faster than a detective in a crime thriller. I came home to find them sitting on the couch, surrounded by an arsenal of snacks, like they'd just pulled off the heist of the century.
And then there's the snack negotiation tactics. "If I eat all my carrots, can I have three cookies?" I feel like I'm in a high-stakes poker game, and my kids are bluffing with baby carrots.

Packing lunch for kids should come with a degree in advanced logistics. I feel like I'm planning a military campaign every night, strategizing which snacks will survive until lunchtime and which will be casualties in the backpack abyss. My kid comes home one day and says, "Tommy's mom gives him chocolate bars in his lunch every day." I'm thinking, "Tommy's mom is a wizard because I can barely get a granola bar past the lunchbox inspection committee." Seriously, my kid inspects the lunch like they're a food critic at a fancy restaurant. "Hmm, not enough gummy bears, and why is there a vegetable in here?"
And let's talk about lunchbox notes. I tried to be cute once and wrote, "You're the apple of my eye" on a note. My kid handed it back and said, "I'd prefer an apple in my lunch, not a note about it." Tough crowd.

Dinnertime at my house is a battlefield, and I'm the reluctant general trying to lead my troops to victory. I put a plate of vegetables in front of them, and it's like I declared war on dessert. They look at me like I'm trying to poison them. "Eat your veggies," I say, "and you can have dessert." It's a negotiation process that would make diplomats jealous. The other day, my kid asked me, "Why do I have to eat vegetables?" I told them it's because vegetables make you strong. They looked at me, unimpressed, and said, "Superheroes eat pizza, not broccoli." Touche, kid. Touche.
And then there's the spaghetti incident. No, not the diplomatic one—the one where my kid decided to see how far across the room they could sling a noodle with their fork. Spoiler alert: it was impressive, but now I have spaghetti on the ceiling.

You know, kids and food—it's like trying to negotiate a peace treaty between two warring nations every mealtime. My kids act like I'm serving them a plate of alien tentacles instead of broccoli. I try to explain, "Look, it's not gonna bite you, but if you keep making those faces, I might!" I tried to be the cool parent once and let my kid help in the kitchen. Big mistake. It was like having a tiny tornado of flour and confusion. I asked, "What are you making?" They proudly responded, "I don't know, but it's gonna be awesome!" I'm just glad the smoke alarm didn't agree.
And don't get me started on their food preferences. One day, they love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. The next day, it's like I served them a sandwich with the crust made of lava. It's like their taste buds are on a rollercoaster, and I'm just along for the ride, desperately trying not to throw up.
