The author chronicles the challenge of managing four children's constant snacking during summer. After one day of non-stop snack requests, they realized this approach was both annoying and costly. Instead of three meals with snacks, the author decided to serve four full meals daily. This not only keeps the kids full but also supports better eating patterns. Emphasizing balanced meals to maintain energy and mood stability, the author found this strategy effective.

I realized that not only was their pantry goblin status annoying me, but the constant inhalation of snacks was expensive.
