[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds so pretentious. “We don’t do juice.” “We don’t do malls.” “We don’t do tablets.” It’s always said by parents with kids 5 and under too. For example if someone asked me if my kids liked pop tarts I would just respond “oh they haven’t tried them yet.” Instead of saying “We don’t do pop tarts.” [/quote] It’s less pretentious than “I don’t give my kids juice” or “I don’t take my kids to malls.”[/quote] You can just say nothing! Or if someone is offering your kid something and you can’t budge on your rules out of the house you can just say “no thanks”. Or if someone is telling you about fortnight and you don’t “do” video games you can say “oh I don’t know much about it, tell me about xyz” Amazing how it’s possible to converse about things you don’t do[/quote]
