"Parenting is buying 6 yogurts and watching them all get eaten In one day.....Then buying 12 yogurts and watching them expire because, “Nobody likes yogurt." "

This isn’t a shitpost, this is just a real life fact

I feel seen, very specifically.

Male teen: “I need more protein, I’m working out” ::eats half a tub of Greek yogurt::

I pick up a bunch of on sale the next week and they’re still sitting in the fridge a week later. But now the eggs are all gone. ::eyeroll::

I don’t need to be a parent for that. I manage that all by myself

Same, but with milk. One week, we’d empty a gallon in four days, so I’d buy an extra half-gallon the next week, and he wouldn’t touch it, leaving me to finish it. So, I’d buy only a half-gallon the next week, and yep, “We’re out of milk!”

Mostly, I avoided this by limiting what he had to eat as snacks and making all of his meals. So, there wasn’t much he was getting on his own.

My youngest twins each take a yogurt, eat one bite then leave it. They will do this 2-3 times per day if not stopped

Should have bought yogurt futures.

Same thing being a wife.
