I played outside if you count the fenced in back yard. When I was old enough to be anywhere else, I had a cell phone and mom called it. If I ever didn't answer, I lost it and the privilege of leaving the yard.
But absolutely if I didn't eat the dinner mom made, then I got no dinner or dessert or snack that night. That was my dad's rule and he wouldn't budge. The next meal was breakfast. Sometimes mom would bring me a snack. It was our secret! 🤫

@JustGoneNow When I hear other people's stories I just want to cry. My parents and grandparents did so much for me and my brother.
@sarabee1995 same. my family has been my one saving grace in all my shit. Love them all.

@sarabee1995 t Something I’ve noticed with friends now (I don’t comment on it, but it’s weird to me); there’s almost like a "short order cook" approach, making different meals for each family member.
My friends’ daughter decided to go vegan, so her mother made her special vegan meals separate from the others, youngest son decided he only wanted ramen—that’s what he got.
I wondered what would’ve happened if I’d decided I no longer wanted to eat meat as a kid ? Possibly I would’ve just been given extra vegetables to replace the meat. When my mother became a vegetarian years later, that was how she adapted her personal meals, while cooking meals that included meat for the rest of the family.
I learned to cook vegan and vegetarian meals so that when I visited home I could prepare dishes especially for Mom that the others might enjoy, too.

@bijouxbroussard for me, it’s just us two. I eat what she eats. Ha ha.
When I was a kid… we were a food producer, so I ate what was served or went hungry until the next meal.

@bijouxbroussard Yeah, a LOT of my friends' houses were like that when I was growing up ("short order cook" meal times). And I think my mom would've been like that except that my dad was so against the concept. We didn't do regular breakfast or lunch as a family, but dinner we did. And it was one meal. It was a big thing for my grandfather as well ... likely where dad got it from.
