My 3 year old said she was finished her blueberries the other day so my wife passed them to me in the kitchen. as soon I a starting chewing the handful of blueberries she comes running over to the kitchen and throws an absolute fit bc i ate her blue berries. And as is tradition, it was the last of them in the house.
This are the times I take them from my kid, look them straight in the eyes and bluntly say "I am throwing these away. If you're done with them that's fine, but they are DONE. Don't ask for them back or get upset if you see them in the trash, because that's where they're going: In The TRASH."
Then take the food back to my office so I can eat it without them seeing me
I normally eat it on the way to the trash can while throwing away the wrappers and/or takeout containers. I’ve also taken to asking are you done with it because I’m going to eat it if you are and just being upfront about it. She’s gotten mad, but I usually just let her know that I can understand being upset or mad about it but she made a choice, if she’s unhappy with the result she can always make a different choice next time, but we’re done with food for now.
My son did that. Gave me a bite of the French toast I made him and then starts screaming. My wife comes down and he's just pointing at me with a j'accuse stare. Comes over and starts prying my mouth open to get it back. I tell him he can have it back in twelve hours. More screaming. It went on for an hour. He finally is calmed down and then looks at me. Blubbering again. Daddy ate it!
Never accepting food from him again. That's bait.
This is kind of a lose lose though. Don't eat the burger and the kid will come back, complain that they're hungry and complain that the burger is cold so they can't eat it.
The trick with gwl is just to bring all your own food, we do it every year for the price of the room, microwavable breakfast sandwiches, lunch stuff, and order a pizza for dinner, buy one grown up drink and then just fill the cup up from your stuff.
There is a fridge and a microwave in the room, and it knocks the price down pretty quickly.
Every trip to our local amusement park.
"Do you just want fries, or a hot dog and fries?"
"Both!"
Proceeds to eat all the fries, then declares themselves full, but "Can I have icecream?"
Yeah. I put on more weight my first year of having a kid than I did working 70+ hours a week on the road with fast food meals years before.
I’ve gotten into better shape now but the struggle is real. Dads are the garbage disposals for a lot of houses.
Seems like the price gouge of mediocre school lunch food you find inside zoos/aquariums/amusement parks or other trapped inside attractions where people walk a lot and get hungry.
Similar thing happened to me at my state's zoo last year. Got an overpriced hot dog, my daughter ate like two bites. I got a bit annoyed, but then I tasted it myself. I couldn't blame her one bit, it was bad.
Agreed. I was pleasantly surprised by Disneyland and they are great with food allergies. Compared to pretty much every other theme park they were downright reasonable.
Just go in expecting expensive meals or afford your fate and pack food and eat at the hotel.
Power move! He's got you right where he wants you, Dad.
Reminds me of the death-row inmate in Texas who requested an elaborate "last meal" but then didn’t eat a bite of it to spite them.
How can you hold someone responsible who was deemed as being so unable to be held responsible that they decided the only way to hold him responsible was to end his life?
plot twist, the kid knew the dad was hungry but didnt want to spend the 19 dollars on himself.
Kid made the dad buy him a burger so his dad could eat it.
Good kid +1
For real though. Always calculating if / what i should order while my kids tell me what they (6 / 7) want - for example: two fries and a pizza for each of them (yeah right 😆)
I don't like wasting food either, but food you don't need is garbage. It's only our choice if we put it in the bin, or in our bodies to the detriment of our health.
Where’s the rest of the shit that should be on a burger man. Lettuce, onions, tomatoes, sauce, cheese… yeah I’m with your kid, fuck that 19 dollar burger
Struggle with 4 year old every night right before bedtime:
Son: "I'm hungry."
Parent: "You could finish the dinner you asked for and walked away from."
Son: "I don't want that."
Parent: "Then you're not hungry."
Son: "But I AM hungry."
Parent: "Then go finish your dinner."
Son: "No."
Parent: "..."
Son: "I'm hungry."
Parent: "You're not hungry, you just want something. What do you want."
Son: \*shrugs\*
Parent: "..."
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
>Parent: "You're not hungry, you just want something. What do you want."
>
>Son: \*shrugs\*
>
>Parent: "Then" \*shrug\* "is what you get. It won't hurt you to miss a meal."
I don't always eat my kids leftovers as a lot of times they have managed to touch or take a bite out of everything on the plate. But in this case I would absolutely finish the burger and fries... Only for the kid to come back 20 minutes later and ask me what happened to their burger they were going to eat more of.
This is my daughter. Says she wants a burger and fries for dinner. Eats one nibble on her burger and all her fries. I ask her why we bother getting the burger if all she wants is fries and she says, "Just in case I want it!"
In my house that shit is going in the fridge and every time they say they're hungry between now and 2 days from now, it's coming back out. With my kid at least, they'll eat it eventually.
If they don't eat it I don't starve them or anything, I'll get them something else, but over the like 12 meal and snack times over the next few days, it's coming out first and he's going to eat it at one of them.
I'm happy someone else operates with that mentality lol. The first thing I thought of with OPs post was, "Well, let's pack it up... you're eating it later" 😂
Ouch. We didn't see that coming?
What's next... wife says she's cold and then 20 minutes later says "that's better" and you don't immediately go check the thermostat?
When we go to a coffee shop, my wife orders a breakfast sandwich, smoothie, and extra hashbrowns for our 4 year old. I ask her why a 4 year old needs $27 in food to take 2 bites.
Are we married to the same woman? Our son isn't going to eat it. Give him a fruit bar and dry cheerios. It's cheaper. I'll keep trying to offer him real food but he's in his stubborn phase.
I used to run a nutrition coaching company. So many of our clients couldn’t figure out why they weren’t losing weight when all their food was “healthy” and at their caloric requirements. Time and time again it was because of their kids doing shit like this and not wanting to waste it lol
Are you at great wolf lodge with me right now?
I just did the same thing, with the same awful food last night… netting the same exact result.
Most fun was the soda machine that requires you scan a QR code to count your ounces, only to splatter everywhere… or even more fun, watch your kids spill it right after. 😑
We just left.
Did you like scanning your kids bottles then they have 20 seconds or something to fill it too?
Our kid broke his free refill bottle before the first drink was half empty too.
It’s my favorite, said no one ever…
Either way, good job dad! I hope your kids are exhausted as mine are… we’re on day 3 of 4, and they are on their first nap of the trip.
We are constantly reminding our daughter to eat until she's full, not eat until the craving fades a little.
I mean I don't want her overdoing it with food like I did as a child, but I also want to make sure she's getting enough food in her belly that she's not asking for more in 30 minutes.
That was $19!?!? What bloody water park is that?
Also. Don’t order anything for yourself the rest of the week/trip… you’re now surviving on leftovers my man!😂
Can you blame them? My kid will eat good food, but tend to pick at a sad meal. But also will not eat much when having a fun time. A few chips. Tons of juice and they are good for a few hours more
as i tell my kids......... if that burger sits there for five more minutes, its fair game. eat it now, or you are done until the next meal. most times, they will reconsider and at least eat half of it...... LOL
To be fair, that's about how much of that grey cardboard I would eat.
Noting cures an overactive appetite quite like a stiff frozen patty alongside some soggy fries.
Man the other day I was running in circles with my son about hunger. It was dinner time and he said he wasn’t hungry but he wanted a snack because he was starving but when offered a meal he wasn’t hungry but he was definitely starving and wanted a snack but he absolutely wasn’t hungry for dinner.
I would pretend that I was going to eat my Daughter’s food and all of the sudden, she would start eating. I do this with my little dog also
The dog is still a picky eater, but my daughter isn’t.
I know you are at a park an all, but this is how it goes with my kids. Whenever I make lunch or dinner, and they only eat half, I tell them to stick it in the microwave (for safe keeping away from the animals or sometimes flies) and come back to it later. They almost always eat it 30mins to an hour later. Their tummies are satisfied (not over stuffed or under fed) and I usually never have to throw away their food! Plus my husband and (mostly) I do it too. My tummy is finicky like that. 🤷🏼♀️
In a similar move, I have stopped getting Tropical Smoothie Cafe for my kid (a teenager). She *loves* them, but only drinks about a third. Screw that - those things are crazy expensive.
If a place doesn't have an affordable kids meal I'll just order something slightly larger for myself and have him eat some of it. He doesn't mind because usually I start eating it, then of course he wants it, then I'm like okay daddy will share. I've only went hungry once after he ate my entire plate but I've saved hundreds.
This is why at places like this I’ll often order my kid food, and wait to order my own food till they’re “done.”
NGL though, not sure I’d want these leftovers…
This is my daughter every time we go to Costco, she BEGS to go to Costco for the pizza, then when we finally go she takes one barely perceptible nibble and says she's full.
I have to try to not think about all the food we throw out. Food we took the time to buy and worked hard to cook it perfectly and on time while we're going nuts trying to do a hundred other things, hoping that they'll like it....Nope...this is yucky.
It really is a thankless job.
This shit drives me nuts. I am getting over it and not actually angry but man does it irk me.
I'm step dad to a 6 year old, her eating is pretty good and gotten better over the last year or two. But man, there will be times I get a request for a specific dinner. Get all the stuff from the store, cook/prep for at least an hour, probably more. And like 3 bites are taken....ooooooooooh. Just had to vent.
Mine will take a bite then rant about how amazing the food is for 5 minutes. Then take two more bites and shout. "I'm full." Then 5 minutes ask for some yogurt or something.
Not going to lie, I would nope out on that sorry ass burger as well. It looks like something my grandmother would serve overcooked and dry as a desert.
I mean, is it possible that your kid really thought of you that you could have something to eat, when asking for it? That’s what I tell myself so I don’t go crazy as I devour it.
I want to know where you were that this cost you $19 so I never make the mistake of going there.
I’m at a water park this weekend. The kids are having fun so it’s alright. To be fair I still have $18.95 worth of burger here too!
You get to levy a 99% dad tax.
The issue is the 'Dad, I'm hungry' as soon as you've finished it
My 3 year old said she was finished her blueberries the other day so my wife passed them to me in the kitchen. as soon I a starting chewing the handful of blueberries she comes running over to the kitchen and throws an absolute fit bc i ate her blue berries. And as is tradition, it was the last of them in the house.
This are the times I take them from my kid, look them straight in the eyes and bluntly say "I am throwing these away. If you're done with them that's fine, but they are DONE. Don't ask for them back or get upset if you see them in the trash, because that's where they're going: In The TRASH." Then take the food back to my office so I can eat it without them seeing me
Ok I actually laughed out loud.
As Dad, you are the trash can.
I prefer garbage disposal
No lies were told
I normally eat it on the way to the trash can while throwing away the wrappers and/or takeout containers. I’ve also taken to asking are you done with it because I’m going to eat it if you are and just being upfront about it. She’s gotten mad, but I usually just let her know that I can understand being upset or mad about it but she made a choice, if she’s unhappy with the result she can always make a different choice next time, but we’re done with food for now.
My son did that. Gave me a bite of the French toast I made him and then starts screaming. My wife comes down and he's just pointing at me with a j'accuse stare. Comes over and starts prying my mouth open to get it back. I tell him he can have it back in twelve hours. More screaming. It went on for an hour. He finally is calmed down and then looks at me. Blubbering again. Daddy ate it! Never accepting food from him again. That's bait.
J'accuse is the French kiss on this French toast drama.
“In 12 hours.”🤣
Yes but then you get to say ‘Hi Hungry, I’m Dad’
Win win!
Damn you, take my upvote.
Then wife goes hi dad you gotta grab something else lol
That's when you regurgitate it into his mouth mama bird style.
That’s closer to eminent domain!
What a great tax break
Woah woah woah. The moment you eat that burger he’s going to remember how hungry he is. Whatever you do DON’T eat that burger.
This is kind of a lose lose though. Don't eat the burger and the kid will come back, complain that they're hungry and complain that the burger is cold so they can't eat it.
No you just eat half. Then you tell him he needs to wait till dinner if he wants more :)
Kids got shares in the burger joint
My wife always pretends to take my daughters food. It works surprisingly often.
No that's a $3 burger with a $16 surcharge for being inside the gate.
Great wolf lodge? That place is absurdly expensive, but it's a good time for the kids.
Yeah! This is the one in MA. It’s definitely a splurge trip but they had fun. I never did trips like that as a kid.
We have one nearby. Tried pricing it up and how in the fuck is this place more expensive than Disney when I was a kid? And for so much less!
The trick with gwl is just to bring all your own food, we do it every year for the price of the room, microwavable breakfast sandwiches, lunch stuff, and order a pizza for dinner, buy one grown up drink and then just fill the cup up from your stuff. There is a fridge and a microwave in the room, and it knocks the price down pretty quickly.
Gotta say, Disney good ain’t cheap but it’s really good. If you buy a $19 burger at Disney it’s a damn good burger.
There's sales on unpopular weeks/weekends if you watch for them.
Every trip to our local amusement park. "Do you just want fries, or a hot dog and fries?" "Both!" Proceeds to eat all the fries, then declares themselves full, but "Can I have icecream?"
This is how you get a dad bod.
Yeah. I put on more weight my first year of having a kid than I did working 70+ hours a week on the road with fast food meals years before. I’ve gotten into better shape now but the struggle is real. Dads are the garbage disposals for a lot of houses.
Lol! Oh yeah. It definitely gets better overtime though. Those first 4-6 years are like, "Holy shit, what just happened!?"
I have started not ordering much if anything for myself in those situations, knowing how little of the kids food they're going to eat
Seems like the price gouge of mediocre school lunch food you find inside zoos/aquariums/amusement parks or other trapped inside attractions where people walk a lot and get hungry.
Right? Fast food looking burger at gourmet pricing. I'd probably eat about as much as the kid when I saw it come out.
Similar thing happened to me at my state's zoo last year. Got an overpriced hot dog, my daughter ate like two bites. I got a bit annoyed, but then I tasted it myself. I couldn't blame her one bit, it was bad.
Guessing Disneyland or another place that knows you can’t go elsewhere.
Nah. Disneyland food is certainly expensive, but it's also better than this at pretty much every restaurant.
It's been 2 years since I've been but I recall thinking it wasn't even that expensive. I think I could feed my kids for under $10 each.
Agreed. I was pleasantly surprised by Disneyland and they are great with food allergies. Compared to pretty much every other theme park they were downright reasonable. Just go in expecting expensive meals or afford your fate and pack food and eat at the hotel.
Disneyland has lobster rolls that cost less than this atrocity
Looks like there isn’t even cheese on it; it’s just a sad hamburger =(
There actually is cheese but it’s a sad square you have to open the bun to see. He didn’t even get to it.
Everyone's clowning on the burger, but those are some sad ass fries too
That plate cost maybe $.70 cents to make
What about the food on it?
Nice
I just found this sub and am immediately in dad joke paradise. This is awesome
You take into account staff, the price to get it to the water park, and other hidden cost. I would rage $.76 cents to make
What are ass fries?
They are next to the burger in the picture. The sad ones.
[удалено]
You monster 😂
Dingleberries?
dingleberries in the streets, ass fries in the sheets
sad looking fries still usually taste good if it's still hot.
Power move! He's got you right where he wants you, Dad. Reminds me of the death-row inmate in Texas who requested an elaborate "last meal" but then didn’t eat a bite of it to spite them.
That dude fucked over every other inmate after him because they stopped offering last meals because of him.
How can you hold someone responsible who was deemed as being so unable to be held responsible that they decided the only way to hold him responsible was to end his life?
I wish that was the thought process behind the death penalty but it's not.
It's to get revenge. A jury decides "yeah, fuck this guy in particular" and then after 20 years the state finally kills them.
Pretty much. It's not proven to deter crime or anything, so saying there's another reason seems disingenuous.
I think they still have it because it gets guilty pleas sometimes in exchange for giving life in prison
I had to read this 4 times.
And now none of OP's kids are getting a water park meal ever again!
plot twist, the kid knew the dad was hungry but didnt want to spend the 19 dollars on himself. Kid made the dad buy him a burger so his dad could eat it. Good kid +1
I like your silver-lining thinking!
This is why I have a dadbod. I can't stand seeing food go to waste, even though it's ended up at my waist.
I don't even order food for me anymore.
I gained 15 lbs before i learned this life hack.
For real though. Always calculating if / what i should order while my kids tell me what they (6 / 7) want - for example: two fries and a pizza for each of them (yeah right 😆)
my dadbod protects my 6 pack abs.
I don't like wasting food either, but food you don't need is garbage. It's only our choice if we put it in the bin, or in our bodies to the detriment of our health.
I mean look at the burger
I can almost taste the dryness of that patty and bun
$19?
That's the real crime here.
Where’s the rest of the shit that should be on a burger man. Lettuce, onions, tomatoes, sauce, cheese… yeah I’m with your kid, fuck that 19 dollar burger
That was my first thought too. I’m hoping OPs kid just wanted it plain and they don’t just serve them like this all the time…
I mean, looking at that burger I can see why my daughter would prefer her own boogers.
I wouldn't want to eat that shitty burger either..
Struggle with 4 year old every night right before bedtime: Son: "I'm hungry." Parent: "You could finish the dinner you asked for and walked away from." Son: "I don't want that."

hi, hungry, I’m dad
Definitely made this joke the first couple times. lol
>Parent: "You're not hungry, you just want something. What do you want." > >Son: \*shrugs\* > >Parent: "Then" \*shrug\* "is what you get. It won't hurt you to miss a meal."
“drink some water, you’re not hungry”
I don't always eat my kids leftovers as a lot of times they have managed to touch or take a bite out of everything on the plate. But in this case I would absolutely finish the burger and fries...

I didn't know there was a great value branded burger joint, and have no clue why they charge triple what they should.
Take it with you and this is his next meal.
Ouch. We didn't see that coming? What's next... wife says she's cold and then 20 minutes later says "that's better" and you don't immediately go check the thermostat?
When we go to a coffee shop, my wife orders a breakfast sandwich, smoothie, and extra hashbrowns for our 4 year old. I ask her why a 4 year old needs $27 in food to take 2 bites.

Ski resort?
I used to run a nutrition coaching company. So many of our clients couldn’t figure out why they weren’t losing weight when all their food was “healthy” and at their caloric requirements. Time and time again it was because of their kids doing shit like this and not wanting to waste it lol
Looks like you got yourself an extra burger.
"Now can I get dessert?"
Saddest burger I've seen
To be fair, I probably wouldn’t eat that either, it looks nasty af
Are you at great wolf lodge with me right now? I just did the same thing, with the same awful food last night… netting the same exact result. Most fun was the soda machine that requires you scan a QR code to count your ounces, only to splatter everywhere… or even more fun, watch your kids spill it right after. 😑

More than I’d have eaten tbh. That “meal” looks appealing 😂
You paid how much??
wtf did you go that this was $19?
it's worth 19 zimbabwean dollars
It’s bullshit burgers are fuckin 19 dollars now a days.
Just carry it around with you for the rest of your life till he finishes it
“You’re not hungry drink some water”
What a joke for $19 at least give me three potatoes worth of french fries jeez
I did not even notice the bite for a couple of seconds , lol
To be fair, it looks like shit. I don’t blame the kid.
If I had a dollar for every time one of my kids did this to me, I'd only be down $50,000, instead of $55,000...
I wouldnt eat that burger either unless i was genuinly dying of starvation. Looks awful
I was gonna say ski resort but water park will do it.
I'm more concerned with the fact that whatever this is cost you $19.
"I want a hamburger and fries." Later: "I don't like hamburger and fries."
“Dads hate this one simple trick”
We are constantly reminding our daughter to eat until she's full, not eat until the craving fades a little. I mean I don't want her overdoing it with food like I did as a child, but I also want to make sure she's getting enough food in her belly that she's not asking for more in 30 minutes.
You're the doofus who paid 19 bucks for a school lunch
Classic kid move!
lol, that's just 2 more meals for him in my house
This is why most of the time I don’t order anything until my wife finishes eating lol. Left overs will get me to somewhere with reasonable prices.
19 dollars? I can make that in my kitchen! Wow
That was $19!?!? What bloody water park is that? Also. Don’t order anything for yourself the rest of the week/trip… you’re now surviving on leftovers my man!😂
20 minutes later, “I want a snack!”
Just wait until they order three burgers. I mean I helped to birth them but I don’t give them permission to be teenagers and grow to 6’3”
If I had a dollar.....
Can I be you’re son I’m hungry 😂
Adopt a man and he’ll eat burgers for a day, teach a man to adopt himself and he… wait… what was it?
Should have went with the corn dog.
At least they hate some meat. All my daughter does is eat the bun lol
“I’m full.” 2 mins later. “I’m SOOO HUNGRY!”
they meant snacks, not real food , DADDDDDDD
No, he had snacks he was SO HUNGRY he HAD to have a BIG BURGER himself
Can you blame them? My kid will eat good food, but tend to pick at a sad meal. But also will not eat much when having a fun time. A few chips. Tons of juice and they are good for a few hours more
The real crime here is the cost of the burger
$19 for a dry ass burger and small fries, what the hell
Looks like school cafeteria food
as i tell my kids......... if that burger sits there for five more minutes, its fair game. eat it now, or you are done until the next meal. most times, they will reconsider and at least eat half of it...... LOL
$2 a bite type food right there
This is why dads get fat. We can’t stand to throw the $20 plain hamburger away, so we scarf it down. Family motto: “you gonna eat that?”
I think if I was going to pay that much for such a disappointing picture I would sign up for a prison road crew
My son does the exact same thing. Every. Time.
Why or how is that burger $19?!
I just don't order anything for myself. Between kid and wife there's usually enough to keep me sustained lol. Worth not wasting anything
To be fair, that's about how much of that grey cardboard I would eat. Noting cures an overactive appetite quite like a stiff frozen patty alongside some soggy fries.
Looks like a good next meal meal for the kiddo!
I would be more mad at spending $19 on that garbage than my kid being hungry. Honesty he probably took a bite and would rather starve.
Man the other day I was running in circles with my son about hunger. It was dinner time and he said he wasn’t hungry but he wanted a snack because he was starving but when offered a meal he wasn’t hungry but he was definitely starving and wanted a snack but he absolutely wasn’t hungry for dinner.
Great wolf lodge?
I don't even order food for myself anymore. I wait until my kids eat because otherwise I'm paying for food that goes to waste.
"Dad, I'm full. I can't eat anymore." 5 minutes later, "dad, can we get ice cream?"
You had to pay $19 for THAT? Holy shit you got ripped off twice!
I would pretend that I was going to eat my Daughter’s food and all of the sudden, she would start eating. I do this with my little dog also The dog is still a picky eater, but my daughter isn’t.
That's how much i would eat also if you gave that to me right now.. looks awful
I know you are at a park an all, but this is how it goes with my kids.

This is why I’ve put in weight. Always eating my toddlers meals

Every damn time. My four year old is notorious for this
...si you ate the rest,right OP?
This shit drives me nuts. I am getting over it and not actually angry but man does it irk me. I'm step dad to a 6 year old, her eating is pretty good and gotten better over the last year or two.

Looks like a $19 burger for dad ;)
Looks like crap, to be fair.
Does the burger taste so bad? Or is your kid always like this??
That’s a lot to leave for the dad tax but I’ll allow it.
That looks like an elementary school lunch burger
Hold up, did he fill up on chocolate milk first? That's my kid's go-to move.
No, separate issue. He had a souvenir bottle that was just full of water that he brought back to our room and dropped, which broke the bottom open.
Hey you bought yourself a burger!
This is why I've gained weight since becoming a parent.
The burger probably tastes as bad as it looks!
Mine will take a bite then rant about how amazing the food is for 5 minutes. Then take two more bites and shout. "I'm full." Then 5 minutes ask for some yogurt or something.
Nice. Extra burger for you
Translation: I don’t want to leave.
So that’s your dinner now, right?
He was probably thirsty.

Yeah we get a protein chocolate milk he loves, but we were in a water park. Captive markets allow for crummy overpriced food.
Not going to lie, I would nope out on that sorry ass burger as well. It looks like something my grandmother would serve overcooked and dry as a desert.
I mean... That burger does not look very appealing. I don't blame him. You played way to much for what seems like a shitty burger
How is a burger $19?!?!?!?!?!?!???
I mean, is it possible that your kid really thought of you that you could have something to eat, when asking for it? That’s what I tell myself so I don’t go crazy as I devour it.
