Husband decided last minute to go to the family cabin. I can’t go because of work commitments (they’re leaving as I work basically). I don’t have an issues with that. I am a vegan lol.

Anyway I know this is a fishing kind of situation and my kid (age 6) doesn’t usually eat fish other than fish and chips kind of fish so I picked up a pack of hot dogs, pepperoni sticks, fruit, a stick in the oven baked pasta kind of thing, granola bars and fruit snacks and some juice and milk. I intentionally threw in extra stuff because there will be five other kids there. It all fit in one normal sized cooler.

Is this weird or no? I feel like maybe I overstepped? My kid is a big snacker and he is going to be roaming the house looking for food. I can almost guarantee you there won’t be kid food/kid drinks there.
