Hungry Household Security Threat Levels

Severe
Severe risk of complete Mommy meltdown, with timeout for kids in their rooms and her locking herself in the bathroom, owing to the following conditions: Mommy is PMSing, dieting, planning a big project, taking care of sick kids who have been crying or fighting or clinging all day, without a babysitter, and thinking about kindergarten.

High
High risk of timeout for the kids because Mommy is working under two or more of the above conditions.

Elevated
Significant risk of timeout for one or more kids because Mommy has no idea about what to a). put in school lunches or b). cook for dinner.

Guarded
General risk of a "family meeting" because, though Mommy has kids playing happily and independently, with dinner in the crockpot, she is still working under one of the above stressful conditions.

Low
Low risk of any meltdown or disciplinary action because Mommy is home alone with kids at school.
