    Default Thank you Suzy!

    I told my dd about your "snack rationing" idea and how you did it. She tried it with her children(3 ) and she said it was working out great!

    Thanks for the tip!

    Glad to hear that it is working. My house is more calm now since we aren't hearing "they had more than me" or " I didn't get any". The grocery bill has gone down a few dollars also.

    My dd said that they aren't fighting over who got what, and so and so got more than me! LOL She said normally when she gets groceries on Thursday by monday they've went through all the snacks. As of yesterday, she said that each child had a lot left in their bag! She was impressed with how great it was working!

    My DH gets any leftovers after the snacks have been divided. He actually has his own "goody" canister. He made the comment last week that "there are snacks in the house now".

    Don't you just love FV. Without this site, I wouldn't have gotten all the great ideas from everyone.

    I don't have to do this with my guys for some reason, but it is such a fabulous idea that it makes me wish that I did have to do it.

    the best I can remember she divided the snack`s evenly and put inbag for each child . so no one could fight about who got more. If they ate all there`s then they didn`t have any till she shoped again.
    this is not word for word. but my take on it.
