OP certainly could try to communicate they personally would eat some more. Of course, whether that makes a difference, or is even understood by the mother, is another question. | |

I do realize that it's not common everywhere. It also has counterparts for other family members. There is DW for wife, DS for son, DD for daughter, and then for step children another S is added like DSS. If # is used it shows birth order such as DS#2 is your second son. But when typed DS2 it often indicates age versus order. | |
