I don't utilize Facebook/Snapchat or any of that social media crap. This is about as close as I get to social media.

I've been preaching to the kids (daughter is almost 12, son is almost 7) since they were both young, "Don't throw food away just because you're full."

They don't fucking listen. Neither of them. It's like they think the food is just *poof* there! It doesn't matter what they may make if they want something....Mac & Cheese, sandwich, beagle w/ cream cheese...whatever. Once they get full, they just up and throw the rest of the food away.

Oh, only had about half the mac & cheese? They don't save the other half - they just fucking throw it out.

Son ate half his bagel tonight and went and threw the full half away that he didn't eat.....

The wife and I talk to them about it. Remind them what they can do if they don't finish their food so they can keep it for their next snack/meal. We've yelled at them for doing it over and over and over again. We've punished them - to bed early, extra chores, removal of electronics,not allowing them to go out and play with friends.....nothing seems to sink in.

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kids these days are so absentminded, I feel like there needs to be a stupid fucking app created that simply say "Don't waste food" and then they'd remember because they can always remember a stupid ass game or app they've used, but nothing sticks when you try to talk with them. Talk to a kid these days and their eyes glaze over, they nod and clearly don't comprehend what is being said to them because they're not holding a screen in front of their face with flashing lights and they have no buttons to press.....they don't give two shits about anything.
