To be fair, my husband will just have 6 bowls of cereal in a row all of a sudden.
But my son… here he is with his mixing bowl.
Edit: when my son went through a miso soup phase, he would get the big mixing bowl and use a whole block of tofu. Probably straight up 2L of miso broth. For context, he is 6’2” and 19.
Your son is producing fewer dishes. Be better, husband.
Husband does reuse the bowl though. He is not a monster.
When I was a teen in highschool… I was in a weightlifting gym class and I did soccer. When is get home, for a snack if have a party pizza (or two). Probably went through a carton of milk myself. God my mom was so pissed. I was probably half or grocery budget alone for a few years
I’ve got a cousin like you – football club all day every day. Ate like a wolf and ran it all off within an hour.
Then he quit football and chonked up because he didn’t know how to reduce his food intake
Oh man, that hits home… just before COVID hit, I was doing 5k’s and got injured. And I didn’t transition to a lower calorie intake to adjust to the lower physical activity. Just as I was starting to get back into the gym… COVID landed and the gym was closed. Now, I’m a fat bastard. But trying to work on that.
I mean I think it happened to all of us. I used to cycle 30km a day before COVID, and then once work became fully remote, I just started hibernating for winter and never stopped.
Also a fat bastard, but I live in the hope that it’s nothing that a gym can’t fix. Here’s to 2026, friend!
Someone probably shouldn’t be your teenage son AND your husband.
It’s human kibble basically
Try this:
- instead of a giant bowl pour a regular bowl with extra milk
- when you finish the cereal do not drink the milk
- pour more cereal
- repeat as desired
The milk gets too warm.
And after about halfway through the third bowl you begin to regret everything
Food pellets.
Can’t wait! I’d eat like 4-5k calories a day, and literally couldn’t put on weight, although swimming competitively helped a bit I’m sure. Was just a bean pole.
Smoked an unhealthy amount of weed as a kid too, and my go-to high snack was a half gallon of milk and an Entemann’s All Butter French Crunbcake. Believe it or not, I cannot eat like that anymore.
Was it not illegal back then to smoke weed when you were a teen
Yes, it was. Nobody was going to jail over weed though. They handed it a year of probation if you got caught by the cops.
Ah yes, because the legality of it famously stopped so many people from smoking weed…
Well, you could get put in jail! They would risk getting high for that? Bit stupid, honestly.
Yeah that was me. Come home from school after eating a big school lunch, eat a quarter loaf of bread and 1L milk. Have a 2 hour nap, eat 2 servings for dinner, ask if anyone else wants more before scraping the leftovers in the pots and pans onto my plate.
Bachelor chow!
Lpt: replace all - and i mean all the snacks and prepackaged food with fruits and vegtables or just healthy things. Watch, as these thi gs will last for seemingly forever. Until you’ll be forced to eat them. It’s funny
Or they might develop cooking skills, which enables you to turn even the healthiest of ingredients into delicious junk.
I saw this in a movie once. Ever since I thought it was super normal to do this and always got so sick.

No it’s Thursday

I used to do that
I knew a family that told their adult teenage son he could only have one bowl of cereal in the morning and that is what he did.
Is it possible to learn this power?
Just get a mixing bowl and put the whole box it and a half a gallon of milk in it and eat it like Otto did. Guy was 6’2" and two fifty at the time.
Oh. So like what he does already. Got it. 🤦♀️
No. He was eating a whole box of cereal using a small bowl. He was told he could only have one bowl so he switch to a large bowl. How is this hard to comprehend?
Been there, done that. With half and half instead of milk.
the solution to every human problem is “don’t have kids”
no humans, no human problems
pull out of her.
pull out of her.
Do you want kids? Because that’s how you get kids.
This is why they invented leaving your family.
“Mother won’t be back, son. We ate too much cereal and brought this upon ourselves.” - my husband, probably.
