The car was filthy yet again, every Friday I try to clean it, but you know sometimes you just can’t be bothered or you just didn’t get time, I usually fall under the 1st. My husband complained,As usual as we all piled in that saturday morning about my lack of care for my car and the fact I throw bags of snacks to the kids. As he says “creating more work for yourself” I disagreed I was happy the kids were quiet for five freaking minutes I didn’t care it took 30 minutes to clean up. It WAS worth it.
He then said “I don’t want my kids eating that crap anymore” I proclaimed it wasn’t crap, and it was in fact OK” after much studying of backs of said snack packets. He said “I’d like you to stop giving the kids the snacks” I found this HIGHLY annoying as he is at work and I am the one at home looking after them, I am the one who has to put up with them in the car telling me they are hungry and all that jazz.
I had to comply we’re a team I expect him to adhere to my ideas and I have to let him in on one or two a year we have to be fair here :p
I fed my children from the Organix range of “healthy snacks” in case you were wondering.
Two months on
My children who have always been good eaters have changed. They now demand fruit instead of anything else for a snack, if I have no fruit they want nut & dried fruits. Their behaviour has become SO much easier to deal with. I can’t quite get over that little fact. Now TWO months on I have had to tell my husband what a massive improvement it has made on his spawn. And I had to mutter it under my breath and in a mumbled way.
In fact it has improved their diet in many other ways. Their appetite went up. There taste buds wanted to seek tasty food, their little food brains opened up to spices and flavours. It’s now becoming a real treat to cook meals and have everyone enjoy it ALL of it.
Now in the car they eat Popcorn made at home just plain olde popcorn. that Eliza is in charge of and hands it to Jerry, They eat some fruit before a journey and if we’re on a long trip we have sandwiches, usually cheese and sometimes Salmon.
Velly intellisting try it you might be surprised!
Will definitely be giving that one a try. Now to convince the husband that spotting a burger king drivethrough doesn’t mean he has to stop for a snack. Maybe his behaviour will improve then.
Good luck with that LOL, thanks for stopping by!
