When you travel with your family, do you have problems feeding your kids?  

Yes, KFC and McDonald's actually slways saved the day. My older son eventually tried the KFC chicken once, at first he said it tasted different, but eventually he finished it. But he never tried it again. He preferred the chicken wings of McDonald's, but I had to find steamed rice to go with it, which was not available at McDo. Good thing the hotel has steamed rice. My younger son was more stubborn, he stuck to his McDonald's french fries, but still I was thankful he had something to eat other than the chips ahoy and chocolates.

Yes, the problem on food always crops up whenever we go on vacation, coz they would always ask for the ones they're used to. That's why I always bring something that I know they love just in case there's nothing else in our destination that they would fancy.

Hi Oldchem,

Lucky you, I have to agree on that. I've seen children who are adventurous when it comes to food, unfortunately mine aren't. I hope though that this will still change when they get older.

Yes, Neil, it came as a shock to me too, because I was counting on these two giants to feed my kids while we were there. Now I realized, it seems it's only in the Philippines that spaghetti is being served in these fast food chains. Jollibee and Pizza Hut, which I thought would be better alternatives, were on the other part of the island, too far from where we stayed.

Hi Max,

Oh yes, this sounds really familiar. While my kids are extremely excited about traveling, the problem on what to eat in an unfamiliar place almost always becomes a setback. At one time my son uttered something like "next time I won't come with you anymore, I'd rather stay home than see places but starve". Of course I know he also appreciates the fact that he can have as much cookies and chocolates as he can as a substitute, and it leaves me more worried about its(sweet foods) effects to his health in the long run.

Hi Winky,

Looks like our kids eat the same things. And yes, they're brand conscious too, they need to see the logo of the container (like the styro) before they even touch the food. It really is something that bothers me everytime we plan to travel out of town, specially in places where fastfoods are too far, or worse, unheard of.

Hi Smiley,

Wow, your siblings and cousins must love you dearly, for you to take be a willing to take care of them when other girls your age would prefer to hang out with friends and do girls stuff.

Your little cousin blurting out mama at a very inopportune time, when there were cool guys around - was very funny indeed. I hope it didn't happen again though, or you'll be missing out on potential boyfriends and good husband-material.

Thanks for dropping by.
