Well fast food was I guess you can call a regular thing. My mom always worked either regular shifts or graveyard shift. So we always had fast food. She was a single mother and trying to make it. My grandmother was the only one who actually gave us homemade food. She hated when my mom fed up fast food. But my mom was tired all the time and when she did buy food it was like microwavable food. After that it was really mellow. We would go everywhere to eat even restaurants. But I guess as kids we loved it cause we got kid's meal's. So for us it was fine of course as kids do you really have a choice? I mean as a kid your just told what to do, so we just ate what we got. When I think back at my childhood I hate that we always had fast food. I wish my mom had more time to spend with us and have those nice family dinner's. But I know what she had to do in order for us to have what we needed. So I just deal with my past on fast food.
At this point in my life fast food s not as big in my life anymore. I have kids now and I don't want them to get use to eating it. I don't want them to grow up on fast food like I did. I want them to live healthy lives. I want them to eat more veggies and fruits. Now that I'm older I have a say of what to eat, epically when it comes to my kids. My husband hates fast food he never really had it as a child. So to him going from not really having it to always he despises it. He gets mad when I suggest it but then I just change my mind cause of him. In a good way. To know that someone else is watching my health is nice. I know now what I need to continue to do. I like that my kids are not that huge on fast food. I like that my kids eat what's good for them and not what may hurt them in the future. I mean come on I'm still obsessed with fries. It could be anywhere I just need them.
Sucks that you had to eat fast food all the time growing up, but your mother did what she had to..Kudo's to you for cooking for your family, but thats alot easier to do when there are two parents in a household.
ReplyDeleteBlack Widow took the words right out of my mouth. Your mom and grandma seem like great people for doing what they did for you. And home cooked meals are way better than fast food so your family is lucky.
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference you will make in your kids' lives! I know it's a hassle to make all those meals, but they will thank you for it someday!
ReplyDeleteWell thats a good thing that your kids wont have to eat fast food every day. Maybe you can just have it as a treat.
ReplyDeleteWell in a way that's a good thing that your mom gave you pure fast food cause now you'd rather take the time to give your kid's homemade meals.
ReplyDeleteIt's real good to know that you and your family don't really depend on fast food.
ReplyDeleteIt’s amazing that you make your kids meals and put work in having them have home meals.
