That's so interesting to me.
Reminds me of the little kids I was looking after when I was an aupair, they were so hungry by 4 o'clock like i had never seen kids be so hungry by that time. Was it because their lunches consisted of crisps, cheddar slapped between two pieces of industrial white bred and mini biscuits
? In France we finish school at 4.30pm, we have a 'gouter' consisting of a pain au chocolat, or a fruit, or a bowl of cereal, or toasts, or a hot chocolate... Whatever you fancy and depending if you're going straight back home or if you're going to your after school activities for exemple. It's really normal for us to continue the day with fun activities and we don't feel like having dinner as kids. So I guess it's just a matter of habit really.
Now I'm not saying I am an expert. Maybe it is indeed bad for the kids and as kids we just don't realise how bad certain lifestyles can be. And to be fair I think every parents would agree that it would be great for the school system to come up with a more efficient planning because after activities we still had to do homeworks
I can't imagine nowadays sitting down with my (non existing) kids at 8pm to do freaking homeworks.
Maybe Meme is trying to raise a french bébé. #thinksit'ssochic
