[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many of you are missing the point.

The question is not whether or not you should buy your kids guacamole and queso. The question is whether you should allow your kids to add guac and queso to a food order [I]without teaching them that doing so greatly increases the cost of the dish.[/I]

I buy my kids guacamole and other add ons like that all the time, but they know it costs more and will ASK before adding extra items to an order. That way they learn that it's extra. That's all. We get extras, but we want our kids to understand what it means for it to be extra. And yes there are circumstances in which I would not allow extras, for instance if the last time my kid added guac to their burrito, they complained they didn't like it and picked it off. But not because I'm trying to starve my extremely privileged children.

It's not about denying your kids food or being cheap, it's about making sure your kids understand how the world works including the fact that you nearly double the price of a burrito by adding guacamole and queso to it at burrito, and inane but still somehow important piece of information for a person to learn.[/quote]

DP. Your kids aren’t idiots. If they ever don’t have enough money to afford it, they’ll learn fast.

A lot of people actually are idiots, tho. In part because they were not taught by their parents or by experience. So this includes a lot of upper income kids who are just oblivious to how anything works.[/quote]

If they aren’t taught by experience, good for them. Means they have a good life. I’m not going to beat my kids to teach them by experience, life will (hopefully won’t) take care of it [/quote]
