[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Child-is-a-devil-after-juice-poster here - thanks pp for explaining my suggestions of the raisins, etc.  I should've put that in there but you did a better job than me.  When we are around juice I just put it into a cup and water it down and make sure it looks like it has juice in it.

OP, here's my other problem.  And I have to thank my sister for telling me a story about her own ILs to realize this.  I don't want my child to be taught to keep secrets from me.  My sister's ILs were giving the kids stuff and saying "it's our secret" or "don't tell your parents" but my sister felt like that laid a foundation for other things.  I had never thought of it that way before.[/quote]

Exactly-we give juice and water it down and we water down lemonade etc.

YES-This is one of my much bigger concerns. It's not safe to think it's ok for him to keep a secret with her. I have always told my child that we don't keep secrets from DH and DC knows how I feel about that. I had a Grandmother tell me something as a child and tell me not to tell anyone and until I cried for a long time and my mom got it out of me and told my Grandmother never to do that again. I am very sensitive about that because of that happening to me. She is a reasonable person and this will be totally fine.[/quote]
