How to stop grandkids from wasting food?

Wife and I had our daughter, son-in-law and 2 grandkids over last night. Grandkids are 3 and 5 years old.

On the way home from work my wife and I stop at wal-mart and pickup some frozen pizzas from the wal-mart deli section.

Cook pizzas, setup the kids table, give kids a couple of pieces of pizza and some chips.

Grandkids feed pizza to weiner dog and throw chips on floor.

Grandkids then want more food, get chips, eat all the bananas and start going through the kitchen to see what they can find to eat.

I tell grandkids that since they fed their pizza to the dog, they can not have anything else to eat (they can go home and eat, instead of wasting my food).

1 banana is opened, and left out on the kitchen table all night.

Walk out to truck this morning to go to work, and found where grandkids had thrown grapes on the ground.

I am so pissed off right now I could piss gasoline.

I do not blame the kids, more like I blame the parents. Neither parent is willing to make the kids sit down and eat.

The mom gets defensive when you talk to her about her kids doing stuff, so its almost a waste of my time to talk to her. The dad just dont care.


In short:

Grandkids waste food and I am pissed off about it.

Kids parents are too lazy to do anything about it.
 
Let the little bastards starve until they get so hungry they cry for anything to eat. Then feed them something they hate.

This.

A friend adopted 2 kids from Russia(?). They were between 2 and 3 years old. They ate anything that was put in front of them.



oh, and start wearing the pants in your house.😀
kidding.

Word. If your daughter can't get them under control then tell her that her kids are no longer welcome.

Most likely he isn't going to say that to his grand kids. I like the suggestion that when they get hungry, they be fed something healthy. Spinach or broccoli.

I meant he should say it to the daughter.

Realistically though the best thing to do is simply not to give them more food if they're hungry but they've been wasteful. Be ready to put up with some whining though.
 
#1 get rid of the kids table. You want the kids to act like adults then make them eat with the adults

#2 Don't reward them with treats of pizza and chips. Cook them a real meal that requires a knife and fork

#3 While eating dinner with you they each get one strike or warning(what you deem misbehavior) and after that they are dismissed from the table and don't eat.

They will learn quickly

I think they need to bring their own food when they come over.

I am so sick and tired of those kids wasting food, I fear that I may go into a screaming fit if it happens again.

The son-in-law and daughter do not have internet at their house (money problems). When they come over, they want to get on my wifes computer, laptop, and my sons computer to use the internet and play games.

While the parents are on the internet, the kids are running wild.

There is absolutely no reason those kids should be running wild. If my kids pulled that crap at my parents house, my wife or I would be all over them.
 
It's all parenting. There's no way in hell I'd let my kid act like that. If he doesn't eat it, fine, he doesn't eat at all. If he gets out of hand he gets his hand smacked.

Welcome to what is wrong with kids these days.
 
well it seems like you failed to raise a sane and sensible child, and now your child is repeating your mistakes. a normal person isn't so clueless and wouldn't rage like a fucking crazy person for this kinda thing.
 
Medical experiments for the lot of them.
