[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom used to do fun little cards with things like "You get to choose tonight's dinner" or "Ice cream out with mom" choices. Even as a teen, I loved them. Also, $1-2 scratch off tickets. :-)[/quote]

My kids are crazy about those. Their favorite is "get out of dinner free card." They get to have cereal or a sandwich while the rest of us eat dinner. I only give out like 1 a year of that one. [/quote]

I think it's crazy to control what a teenager eats. If my kid wants to eat cereal, who cares? They don't do it every night, and they get plenty of veggies/fruits. Controlling when they can eat cereal is bonkers.[/quote]

What?? We make dinner and eat as a family. That's not controlling at all.[/quote]

NP and my teen got home from her HS practice at 8pm yesterday.  Many teens have very odd schedules with sports and jobs.  We value family time but also their lives.  They eat when they can and love food.

I buy different snack things they would like, sometimes looking for unique stuff even on Amazon if I’m short on time. Spicy or sour is always good.   They like anything they can eat. Don’t overthink this.   [/quote]
