Re: What frugal thing did you do today?
But Princess - did they share with you?
That's the thing. I won't not share, but I'll dole it out. If I eat it, they'll eat some (unless it's a midnight snack thing). But I remember being a teen, if I had unlimited access to it, I'd eat it all (we're talking whole boxes of little debbies). My mom stopped buying all together but occasionally dad would stop for a treat and he'd buy me one or two, he'd leave one for me either in or on the cabinet and he'd keep whatever else he bought (I really don't know how many he bought) and then the next day he'd leave the other one.
I guess part of it was that I didn't know for sure he was buying more and was just hiding the rest. But I think it was because he did share with me, he just didn't share all at once.
I hope my kids will have more self control than I did (I'm sooo lucky my metabolism was so fast in HS), but if they don't, I'll do what my dad did.
