A TikTok video of a mom eating pasta at 4:25 p.m. because her kids asked for a snack and wouldn't eat dinner later has gone viral. The mother explains that serving dinner earlier helps avoid meltdowns after daycare and school.
When it comes to parenting, people have to do what works best for their family. While some parents may have their kids follow a regimented schedule, others may prefer to let themselves and their children go with the flow.
Whatever works!) recently posted a TikTok video of her eating pasta — that now has more than 2 million views — with the text,"Does anyone else eat dinner at 4:25 p.m. because your kids asked for a snack, and if they had a snack, they wouldn’t eat dinner, so you just serve them dinner?""This has been an issue since my son was 1 1/2 and in daycare. He would have major meltdowns once home and I noticed it was because he was hungry," Paige told BuzzFeed."I’d rather serve the hearty, nutritious dinner, and they can have a snack plate before bed. As we transitioned back to school and daycare this September, this method had been a lifesaver for us," she continued.Paige's video clearly resonated with many people, as the comment section was filled with almost three thousand opinions of other parents agreeing with Paige's two and seven-year-old eating dinner on the earlier side or having no idea about this early dinner tactic.This mom brought up a great point about the difference in energy when cleaning up after an early dinner versus a dinner later in the evening.Other commenters mentioned how an early dinner is normal in some parts of Europe.@paigeboyuk / ViaAnd this commenter had some questions."I loved the video's response. It was so nice to see that many other parents have that wild meltdown after daycare and school and that they agree that serving dinner right away helps deter those meltdowns," Paige told BuzzFeed.
