I won't let her do that because of the potential for cross-contamination, but also I hate sharing my food and this way I don't have to feel bad about it! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-garbage-disposal#post-2874530 Fri, 01 Mar 2019 15:03:55 +0000 nana87 2874530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm vegetarian and they aren't, so I'm def not eating everything off their plates. But depending on what it is, I will eat it. lo1 regularly leaves the last 1/3 of her pizza slice untouched so I usually eat her crusts+ lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-garbage-disposal#post-2874528 Fri, 01 Mar 2019 15:00:09 +0000 youboots 2874528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BadgerMom: @psw27: same. Once it’s been on my kids plate- no way. I won’t share cups with her either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-garbage-disposal#post-2874506 Fri, 01 Mar 2019 13:06:22 +0000 psw27 2874506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never done it and I never could. I don't like to eat or drink after anyone. I only give them small portions and I might steal from the serving dish, but I'd never eat from their used plate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-garbage-disposal#post-2874503 Fri, 01 Mar 2019 12:55:57 +0000 BadgerMom 2874503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can’t do it. I’ll sneak a bite while I’m plating, but once it hits the table in front of him, I just can’t. I am by no means a germaphobe but this just turns my stomach. I try and give him small portions to control waste instead. And stuff from a restaurant goes into his lunch for the next day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-garbage-disposal#post-2874474 Fri, 01 Mar 2019 11:39:33 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2874474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to limit it, not out of grossness but out of not wanting to gain weight like others mentioned. I do sometimes eat something that she hasn't touched, but I try to save it as leftovers for her figuring that if there is enough there that I am concerned about food waste there is enough to get saved as leftovers and added to another meal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-garbage-disposal#post-2874472 Fri, 01 Mar 2019 11:37:21 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 2874472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't eat her leftovers either. I might grab a bite when I'm preparing her plate, but that rare. I'm also on WW, so, every bite counts LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-garbage-disposal#post-2874470 Fri, 01 Mar 2019 11:08:40 +0000 mrskansas 2874470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't want the extra calories so I never eat her leftovers.<br /> <a href="https://www.njherald.com/20170525/nibbling-on-your-childrens-leftovers-can-pack-on-6-pounds-a-year#" rel="nofollow">https://www.njherald.com/20170525/nibbling-on-your-childrens-leftovers-can-pack-on-6-pounds-a-year#</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-garbage-disposal#post-2874467 Fri, 01 Mar 2019 11:07:25 +0000 Mamaof2 2874467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH will eat anything</p> <p>I wont eat any of it - after my 1st I read an article that talked about how moms gain weight because they eat their kids leftovers and its just stuck with me all these years </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-garbage-disposal#post-2874465 Fri, 01 Mar 2019 10:57:00 +0000 LCTBQE 2874465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don’t do this at all, I’ve always been disgusted by watching children eating and I hate pictures of kids with food all over their face. With my own son, I graduated to enjoying feeding him and feeling happy and satisfied to see him eat healthy food—but I’m still grossed out by his plate afterwards. My husband will eat almost anything he leaves behind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-garbage-disposal#post-2874463 Fri, 01 Mar 2019 10:41:26 +0000 LadyDi 2874463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eat the uneaten crust from pb &amp; j basically every day of my life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-garbage-disposal#post-2874434 Fri, 01 Mar 2019 05:34:38 +0000 Mama Bird 2874434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anything that's not chewed :grin: OK, anything except baby cereal, but no one's eating that at the moment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-garbage-disposal#post-2874426 Fri, 01 Mar 2019 00:20:05 +0000 bees_knees 2874426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I basically eat it all.

Sometimes that’s leftover frozen peas or like tonight an apple slice. I threw away his half a meatball that was sliced because it’s just not tasty in my opinion, but it wasn’t gross and already dipped in CFA sauce. I will always polish off his bacon unless he does one of those numbers where he begins to chew just to remember he’s full and takes the whole thing out of his mouth. My son will ask for two cups of yogurt and typically can’t finish the second cup and that goes in the trash. Eating behind him when it comes to wet stuff seems gross. I totally will eat something “wet” that he simply did not eat like there’s a microwaveable Mac &amp; cheese by Main Street Bistro that’s amazing, but he just doesn’t it eat. Honestly I put some on his plate just as a way to get seconds without feeling guilty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-garbage-disposal#post-2874408 Thu, 28 Feb 2019 20:30:53 +0000 Becky 2874408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tonight I finished off my kids quiche. I’ll eat the few things that they haven’t repeatedly touched or had to stick a spoon in (yogurt = very off limits). I can’t eat gluten and I really miss being able to eat the crust when I cut it off their grilled cheese. I started buying gluten free Mac and cheese just so I can have their leftovers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-garbage-disposal#post-2874407 Thu, 28 Feb 2019 20:19:25 +0000 Foodnerd81 2874407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also saw this today. </p> [attach=2307/19/pnnycd.338x600.1EE369CE-A074-432E-852A-E50411C1ACD1.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-garbage-disposal#post-2874406 Thu, 28 Feb 2019 20:14:48 +0000 Foodnerd81 2874406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If no one is sick, I’ll eat a lot of their leftovers, depending how chewed up it is. I’m gross. I also try not to put too much on their plates at a time so the leftovers are clean. Chicken nuggets, Mac and cheese, broccoli tots- yum! Things they have taken bites out of I usually leave. </p> <p>And literally I don’t think they have ever left fruit snacks behind. Both kids eat them so fast I never would get a chance! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-garbage-disposal#post-2874403 Thu, 28 Feb 2019 19:47:21 +0000 Kaohinani 2874403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I must be the biggest freak 🤪😳 as I cannot stomach to eat most of the food left behind by my kiddos (I make them wash their hands but still ... EWWW!. DD bites her nails which is uber gross and plays with her hair all day AND DS is germy little beast of a boy! 😬😳😂 I. JUST. CAN'T!) Besides that, I have to eat keto due to my seizures so the yummy fries, potatoes, tater tots, fruit "squishies," and most left over meal side dishes are ALL OFF LIMITS to me anyway. All of that stated; If my little lovies DO leave seasoned broccoli, parmesan squash, mozzarella mushrooms or the like, I am SERIOUSLY TEMPTED to nibble it up ... until I think of all of the nail biting, booger picking, hair twirling, and hand feeding our dogs which makes me pass 😉🤣. So, I guess I am heavily tempted but can not stomach (or have) most of their left overs. Honestly, I do not mind bc were I leftover meal "snacker," I'd be over 300 lbs (on a 5 ft 2-1/2 frame!)! 😬😳 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-garbage-disposal#post-2874400 Thu, 28 Feb 2019 18:55:23 +0000 Sams Mom 2874400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't eat the plain hamburger, he won't eat a cheeseburger, and I have to have cheese.</p> <p>I'll eat nuggets, Mac &amp; cheese, fruit snacks, applesauce, cheese sticks.</p> <p>Can't do spaghetti-Os anymore, burnt myself out as a poor college kid </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mom-garbage-disposal#post-2874399 Thu, 28 Feb 2019 18:43:19 +0000 Ajsmommy 2874399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not gonna lie.... I'll totally finish my kids applesauce or fruit snacks... But i definitely toss mac n cheese and nuggets ewwww</p> <p>What foods do you actually finish / eat if your kids leave it behind??</p> <p>What foods can you not stomach at all and toss!!?? </p>
