[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every other night - usually ice cream.

We all eat fruit with breakfast and lunch. DD always gets a cookie or whatever with her lunch. [/quote]

Yeah, it's tempting but I never break down and pack sweets for school. The school even discourages it and sends a list of healthy snacks. [/quote]

+1 Our school does too, but my kid still comes home about how X and Y are so lucky because they get those single serve packs of Oreos or brownies in their lunches.[/quote]

Schools don't get to tell me how I feed my kids food that I buy. School and aftercare is a long day for kids. A brownie at lunch is a nice pick me up. Everyone is healthy as can be. [/quote]

Maybe your kid would be healthier if they didn't have a sweet at every meal.[/quote]

Oh my God I cannot stop laughing. Where did this poster say that her child has a sweet at every meal? She said she puts a small treat in their lunch. I think most normal people do. I don't need the school or the state or anyone else to tell me what my kids can and cannot eat. Mine will eat any fruit or vegetable that you place in front of them and will often turn down sweets.  I would say three days out of the week their dessert comes back in their lunch boxes. If I was to venture a guess, I would say all these parents afraid of giving their children desserts have weight issues themselves or some kind of eating issue. Please don't project your issues on those of us who have a healthy relationship with food. Perhaps try to resolve your issues before you pass them on to your own kids.
