When my sister came to stay with me for a few weeks, my grocery bill nearly tripled. I didn’t mind spending money on food so the kids could eat, but I wanted to buy healthy and nutritious snacks like granola, fruit, and vegetables. I work in a health food store and I know that nutritious food can help our mind and body feel better. The kids needed to get some exercise and I knew some fruits like oranges, apples, and bananas would provide them with much-needed energy. They laughed at the snacks that I chose and whined until my sister went back to the grocery store and purchased junk food like ice cream, cookies, and snack cakes. I didn’t say anything to my sister during the first week, because she was going through a tough separation with her husband. I didn’t want to make her more upset or cause any problems. My sister can be a little overdramatic. I woke up on Saturday morning and made a pot of coffee. I opened the fridge to grab milk and the jug was empty. I went to the living room and each one of the kids had a giant glass of milk on the counter. The glasses of milk were warm and curdled. The kids ate an entire bag of Oreos for breakfast and it was a family size container. I had enough at that point and I woke up my sister when I started yelling at the kids. They were living with me and they weren’t being very respectful.
