Mothers as leftover receptacles
Posted by ApplesH on January 2, 2008 · Leave a Comment
I thought that my mom was being herself when I observed how she used to finish leftovers from my and my siblings plate during mealtimes. “Mommy, I can’t finish my vegetables…†– to which she will respond – “It’s ok honey, leave it and I will finish itâ€. And wouldn’t you know, she will.
Several years later, me, a mom already to two very active boys who eat a lot, find myself doing the same thing my mom did. I now have this impulsion to finish off whatever is left in my kids’ plate (even my hubby’s sometimes hehe). Often, this impulse extends to the half-eaten whatevers that are in the refrigerator. Honestly, some cakes and snacks are too huge a serving for my kids to finish in one sitting. Mostly I am concerned of the food spoiling and being wasted. Other times I see it as leftovers of my hours in preparing and cooking the food that my family eats.
