[quote=Anonymous]My kids are super close with their cousins and are about the same age. We spend the holidays together. I am by no means super healthy and my kids def do all the kids stuff (occasional sucker, juice at a bday party, etc). My sister in law however stocks the fridge with juice boxes. I don't think I ever saw their kids drink water. They probably each drink 6-7 juice boxes a day (4 and 6 years old). She also lets her kids decide what's on the menu to eat vs. putting a plate out. Therefore, they never eat nourishing food. They get these chocolate eggs also pretty often. They also introduced my kids to Shirley Temples at a restaurant this week. We eat out quite a bit and have never given them soda. Of course they kind of loved it. Is this common for anyone else? Should I do a better job of holding the line with endless juice boxes, etc. and risk my kids freaking b/c the other kids are getting them, or just let it go since we only are with them 3-4 times per year?[/quote]
