Were you allowed to go to the refrigerator whenever you wanted as a kid? (1 Viewer)

[athenaaa]

I was, but have heard stories of some people who did not have that privilege​

 

[pinkmelodies]

Not at all. I could barely step foot in the kitchen lol

 

[Selfmate]

wait this is a thing??????

and does it apply to the non-refrigerated food as well like in cupboards and pantries?

 

[Lexie]

Yes. We were, heck, even our friends were allowed as well.

 

[XZCZVSHZKAODJLWS]

i was but honestly i shouldnt have been

 

[Ahsoka]

Yeah, but we weren’t supposed to eat desserts more than once a day. But realistically we didn’t go to the fridge much anyways, not until we were teens

Yeah, some families even put locks on the refrigerators

 

[Selfmate]

Yeah, some families even put locks on the refrigerators

the only possible reason I can see is if the family rents out rooms in the house to non-family members or has certain family who "steals" food

fridge only for drink and snack

 

[The_LastRomeo]

I was not, not even for water, my brother's had to get it for me
This is actually partially my sister's fault because when she was young she would sneak in the fridge and eat sweets lol

 

[StirFriedPanda]

Yes, my mother was very progressive. She didn't believe in forcing us to eat things we didn't like as long as we ate. Her real sin though... we could eat dessert before dinner.

only to get something to drink and if i went there more often i would be presented with the finest "water is better for you than juice" speech known to man

 

[SnowWhite]

Well, yea. Why not? I didnt know that was a thing.
Although tbf i never rly picked anything, just liked the cold air. Which was bad for the fridge being kept open like that.
