Is she still hungry or just concerned with wasting food?

Answer 2

if you are done with it  why can't she eat it? SAVE THE EARTH!!!!!

Answer 3

A lot of people don't like to see good food go to waste.  I see nothing wrong in that... as long as you haven't spat or sneezed at your food.

Answer 4

haha my mom does that too, even like at restaurants and stuff. Its pretty embarrassing..then of course she complains about being overweight >_<

Answer 5

She's probably hungry after cooking your ungrateful *ss a big helping of foodstuffs.

Answer 6

Depends on if your mom is overweight.  If she is overweight, this is the reason she is.  If not, who cares what she eats.

Answer 7

it's not a habbit -it's called not wasting

Answer 8

Answer 9

Thats just abnormal, I dont know maybe she just dont want to waste food, or maybe she just cant get enough, I dunno

Answer 10

I woof it down like a tic tac...before they eat it...

Answer 11

Not when they were your age...sometimes I will finish something, but not very often.

Answer 12

Mothers are like that.  That is why so many are overweight.

Answer 13

that is a little weird but maybe she has this thing where she hates to see food wasted.....maybe you shouldn't take so much a meal time.

Answer 14

yhea because i feel bad throwing it out. but i do that with my cousins so when i have kids i would do that too.

Answer 15

Some people hate to waste food. It's just programmed into them when they were younger, maybe their parents made them finish their plates, or maybe they grew up & there was not enough food to go around.  Others are just compulsive about food, even if they are not hungry, you put a bowl of pretzels in front of them & they will eat.  

I did that a lot when my kids were babies, but not so much anymore, but if my daughter doesn't want to eat her meal & I am still hungry, instead of throwing away what was no her plate I will eat it.  

Why does it bother you?  

If it truly bothers you, to stop it.  You could also take your plate from the dinner table after you are through, and wash it/put it in the dishwasher.  That would stop it & your mom would love you for it.

Answer 16

My mother does and my brother does.

Whats even worse is if you don't feel like eating the rest of your food AT THE MOMENT and you come back later and its gone...thats wayyy worse.

Answer 17

Talk to her about this. If you feel you are given to much to eat than let your mom know so you can finish the food given to you.

It is normal for parents to do this as throwing out food is wasteful and there are people in the world that starve to death everyday.

Good luck.

Answer 18

Many mothers love to do this,its may be a way to show thre love towards her child and may be not to waste the food which are costly.

Answer 19

noo..

my mom does it

its just to not put the food to waist

it will be better if it was in someones stomach rather then in the garbage

=]

my parents always said to try not to put the food to waist especially now that everything is getting expensive.

so if you don't want no more ask anybody if they want it..if nobody wants it then it goes to the garbage

Answer 20

She paid for the food and doesn't want to see it go to waste. Yes, it's normal. If you don't like it, don't take more than you can eat from now on.

Answer 21

My daughter is 2 and usually makes a mess of it. So not right now. Sometimes I am just so busy and just make her lunch and I will give her half of it and if she eats it I will give her the other half if not then sometimes I eat the other half.

Answer 22

you might consider that she didn't take enough food for herself because she wanted you to to have enough.  I particularly don't like to see people eating from someone else's plate but I also don't like to see food wasted.

Answer 23

whats wrong with that? Are you concered about her health or do you just think its gross? She probably just doesnt like to waste food. maybe you should clean your plate before she has a chance to pick at it. Comunicate with your mom and let her know you dont like it. Tell her you want to save it for later or something. But sometimes if i dont make enough food, i will feed my kids first and eat what they dont finish. I dont think there is anything wrong with that. GOOD LUCK!!

Answer 24

my mam used to do that to e when i was younger, i dont see anythign wrong with it...its probs because she doesnt want to waste food.

Heck, when i go over to my parents' for dinner and im full i actually ask if either (or my yopunger bro's or my sister) of them want any of whats left.

I dont see the point in chucking food into a bin when someone in the house may want it...

And if they dont want it, i let the puppy have it.

Answer 25

Well if you are finished, what difference does it make to you if she eats it or throws it away?  It's better than it going to waste!  I'll bet she has way more and better complaints about you than something this petty!

Answer 26

I know how you feel my step father did that to me and i hated it, all you have to do is tell your mom to stop and why explain to her how you feel.

Answer 27

Wow thats creepy.

The best way is to finish your meal.

:)

And maybe your mom is just not a wasteful woman.

Just talk to her If its bothering you.

Answer 28

Ha my mom does that too.

I'm not sure, I guess she just doesn't want any left overs.

If you don't like it, then just try finishing off your plate, or don't get as much at one time. Only get as much as you can eat.

:]

Answer 29

No, but maybe she was giving you a larger amount and she was still hungry? What you should probably know is older people like our parents ages were brought up to never waste food because their parents who brought them up went thru the depression and didn't have food at times. So what if she does it, food is food and if you aren't going to eat it then let her. I know whenever I went out to eat with my grandpa he said we always had to finish our food, even if we were exploding full, so be happy she doesn't force feed you and make you eat it yourself.

Answer 30

Tell your mom that you want to finish your own dinner.  Communicate with her.  If she is concerned that you are eating too much, then have her give you smaller portions.

Answer 31

my partner finishes mine. or if were as his folks house his dad will race him for my leftovers. They say its because the hate to see food go to waste. maybe your mums the same.
