[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 445742, member: 84"] The schools used to offer free breakfast and lunch year around for kids on the program. This has always been a poor area. When Nichole was in hs they stopped it. They do offer breakfast and lunch when school is in session. They'd stopped the breakfast for a while, but had to reinstate it. I only know they reinstated it because Alex's teacher told me the kids were using it. She always cut him slack for being late to class because he was eating breakfast when the bell rang. Well, enabling or not, I can't keep them in a supply of food all the time. I don't have the money to do that even if I wanted to. She's very lucky I happen to be able to help now, because that is mostly due to what has been on sale the past weeks and the prices involved let me buy much more than normal. Somehow I'll have to drill that into her head when we do the face to face talk. upallnight, yup, I'm fully aware katie could just be saying what I she thinks I want to hear as far as learning anything. But as long as she's willing to learn, fake or not, I'll be willing to try to teach. Even if she's faking it something is bound to rub off eventually. I take whatever katie says with a grain of salt. Susie LOL I do NOT think you're cold. I've prayed for M to get out of the picture for a decade at least, I don't much care how that happens. A side note on him, eating doesn't seem to cause him to gain weight, he was still losing when they were eating well at the shelters. He'd lost at least 20 plus pounds from oct through dec alone. Between dec and now it's been at least another 20-30 lbs. The kids gained weight fast eating my food, katie didn't do so bad herself. He didn't gain an ounce. I just hope whatever karma is biting him in the rear works fast. Sometimes I think this is my own karma. mother in law used to give husband money constantly, thinking she was helping me and the kids, when in fact she was only enabling him because I rarely knew he was even borrowing from her and we did without anyway.
