Wastage is a problem. My way around that is to put very little food in for myself. If the kids don’t finish their food then I eat it. If they do finish their food then I go for seconds of the normal grown up food. Sometimes it turns into an insane meal of spicy curry and rice, 2 fish fingers from one kid and the other kid’s bland pasta and veg… but I’m ok with eating random stuff like that for my dinner. I think this keeps us to being a pretty low waste house despite the kids.
I can’t fill one wheelie bin with trash in 2 weeks. My cousin and his 3 kids would fill 2 wheelie bins with trash every single week. The amount of food thrown straight into the bin astounded me.

Yeah I do similar with eating his. It drives me nuts watching the cousins throw shit away, literally 1 bite out of a sandwich.
