Here’s how this guy explained the ongoing situation:
Am I wrong for secretly buying extra food for my niece because her brothers eat everything first?
My brother’s family has been staying with me and my wife for around 6 months while they save money after moving from another state. it’s been okay and we get along pretty well.
They have 3 kids two boys and one girl The boys are both athletes (track and basketball) and they eat a ton. They’re teenagers and constantly hungry. Whenever food is made, they usually go back for multiple servings and they demolish snacks really quickly.
If you know even one teenager, you know that they are truly bottomless pits. And it does seem true that teen boys eat a lot more than their teen girl counterparts. A teen boy can eat an entire pizza in one sitting, then still polish off a pint or 3 of ice cream. A lot of teens learn how to cook just because they’re so hungry that they don’t want to wait for their parents to make them meals.
But for teen girls, there can be a ton of pressure, from their friends, family, and social media, to fit current day beauty standards. That means watching what they eat and trying to stay slim, even if that’s not what their body needs.
