How many meals a day do you have to give foster kids?
Do you HAVE to give them 3, or if they eat a big breakfast can that be it?
I have to toughen up due to the economy.

3 meals is the usual thing, but with school you only have to deal with 1 or 2, that is if they eat breakfast at school. but with summer coming, it's not like you always have to have a big breakfast or a big lunch. growing up, i usually ate toaster oven pizza or hot dogs for breakfast or lunch unless my mother decided she wanted to make a big meal. my siblings and i didnt really mind, as long as we ate, it was all good.

I can hardly believe you're asking this question.

Go ask a doctor, nurse or dietician how many meals a day children should have .... not just foster kids. I am so shocked that you should think a big breakfast may be adequate.

You can't afford to feed them then you deserve to have them under your roof.

Just take what you would feed them at one meal and split it up over the day, but hide the knives so they don't fry you up like Sunday morning bacon!

Rowan
How about you eat the big breakfast, and feed them three meals a day, plus snacks.

Idiot. If you cant afford it, dont be a foster parent. If i'm not mistaken, the system provides money. not much, but how about putting that towards feeding kids, jerk.

if you are serious, you shouldnt be a foster parent! i saw the question you asked early about, "do i have to get my foster kid a birthday present?" and now this? you should not even have the right to take care of these children! they would probably be better off with their real parents and thats obviously not saying much!

Wow, Mr. "Do I need to give a foster kid a present," I really hope this is a joke of some sort. You obviously can't starve the kid. How often do you eat? Are you going to let the kid go hungry while you sit and enjoy a meal? When the kid is hungry, you feed her. It's that simple! 3 meals a day! She is growing! If you couldn't take care of the kid, why did you sign up for foster care?! Toughening up due to the economy does not mean starving people; it means buying cheaper products and cutting unnecessary spending. Last I checked, food was a necessity. Anyway, not feeding a child is essentially child abuse, and you can get arrested for that, so you best be feeding that kid or else child services will be all over you.

You know if you don't know how many times a day to feed a child, then you don't need a kid, and if the foster care place knew you were asking how many times a day to feed your foster kid you would be in big trouble, and you need to grow up a little, could you live off of one big meal a day, and be healthy i think not... you don't need foster kids.. sorry its the truth.

Yes please do toughen up.
But feed the children 3 times a day and YOU have only the big breakfast.
You have done your growing whereas the children you are supposedly looking after still need to do so
I am praying that you are just being a bit of a tosser and playing jokes so everyone will bite, if not then I pray again that the world will see what is happening and all will be set to rights.

Three. They're children, foster or not, and they need to develop and grow properly. One meal a day will not cut it. Regardless of the economy - are you not provided extra money for their welfare? Whether they are your children or not, their health needs to come first.
