A question for those whose sons have bottomless pits for food

[SquishTheWhale]

Not my son (I have a few years grace there!), but my brother was an absolute bottomless pit as a teenager. On a trip to the US he ordered a large pizza which the server warned him fed 3-4 (and in US size portions!), downed it all and started stealing leftovers from others. He used to make 'Adam sandwiches' which were 6 or 8 slices of bread tall in towers with fillings in between each slice and a whole tin of beans cascading down the sides.

And yeah it never stopped, sorry

But he's in his 30s now and feeds himself at least!

Nope sorry 🙈 I have two who have moved out and visit a few times a week and the first place they visit is the fridge 🤣

[Bridget]

No it doesn’t. Not that I have children but my partner costs me a fortune in food even when I shop smart!

Oh that time I will never forget our first Florida trip and we were out Outback. He had three loaves of their starter bread before he polished off a proper starter, main and dessert

It became an in joke with us at Red Lobster.. “could I take some Cheddar Bay biscuits to go”.

Me: “how can you still be hungry?”

No. My youngest son is returning from Australia aged 31. Have been shopping for his favourites. Cupboard full of Jaffa cakes 😀

Mine is hone on leave this week. Stockpiling his favourite foods in large quantities. Leaving him and the cats for five days. Freezer is full and so is the fridge.

Always ‘starving’ no matter how much food they have!
I used to buy a lot of bread, cereal etc so they could just have toast etc between meals.

Not just sons but my daughter too. She has moved out now but for a 5ft 4 size 6 female I have never seen anyone eat so much x

[Island mamma]

My eldest is a food hoover. He's now moved out and I still get a quarter bullock every year for the freezer and give him about a third of it. Youngest has never been as bad. Will sometimes be found having cereal an hour after dinner but really only eats standard portions

I also buy Jaffa cakes from Costco along with my massive pack of wraps and bagels. There are 180 jaffa cakes for about 8 quid. The person on the tills must think I am a right greedy mare.

My son is 16 and it’s ridiculous 😂 every meal we have had we have had to buy a side for him. At CBR he was having two meals (two burgers) in one go. He is still eating his breakfast and asking what snacks he can have and where are we eating for lunch and dinner! He has cost an absolute fortune 🙈🙈🙈
All day long we get ‘I am hungry! I am starving! My stomach is eating itself!’ 🤦🤦🤦
