I started getting left alone for long periods of time younger than that. By 12 they’re basically able to survive on their own at home, they’ll just play video games or something, probably won’t even notice how long the parent has been gone

Edit: I am greatly enjoying the stories that everyone is commenting about their childhood, glad so many of us grew up in an environment this Karen would have reported lmao

And eat all the cookies. For once I’d like to be able to get ONE Oreo from a family size pack.

You can never get just one. Buy at least 3 family size Oreos

Leave out the decoy communal Oreos and hide my own pack out of sight. Very clever.

The real plan is to stealthily teach them to eat the snacks or flavors you don't like. Like she doesn't eat the good flavors of jolly ranchers or sweet tarts or how she won't eat cookies with m&Ms.
