[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems like many folks here had easy kids.   I always pack multiple snacks for DS, yet without fail he'll spot the one item I don't have and throw a fit.   We just hit the terrible twos so I'm hoping it's just a phase.   But what can I do?   I can't really teach him a lesson that he can't always have immediate gratification without subjecting the entire store to him hysterically screaming "FRUIT STRIP!" or "PRETZELS!"   So I take one out of the box or bag & let him have it.   I've got the majority of the bag/box in my cart so there's no chance of forgetting to pay when we check out.  Sorry to those who find this "tacky".[/quote]

When this has happened to me, I've left the store without getting my groceries. I know this a major pain and can be extremely inconvienient, but it's really the only way to enforce the lesson that this behavior is not acceptable. I've left libraries, stores, restaurants, and bbqs. After doing this for a bit, the lesson is learned.[/quote]
