[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"My sister in law did not let her kid have an ice cream cone until he was four. And then we had to break her arm, he ran and hid behind a corner and scarfed it down because he was afraid she would take it!! I also know a mom who give her kids candy non-stop but then freaks out if someone gives them soda, like soda is evil but lollipops aren't. "

This mom poster annoys me. Everyone draws the line somewhere, I suspect you don't give your kids alcohol or something else. People just draw the lines differently which is their decision. I can not understand why some mothers feel compelled to challenge or worse intervene in whatever the other mother has decided. You "had to break her arm" and you felt so passionately that her kid must have soda or ice cream?

I have a SIL who doesn't give her kids sugar. I have never felt the need to force a cupcake on them. I don't feel superior that I give my kids cupcakes . I do not feel insecure that her choice not to makes me a worse mother and I must change her ways to redeem myself.

I have a no fast food rule. I don't believe human existence or a happy childhood means someone has to taste a Happy Meal. My kids don't miss anything and they don't know what the big M offers. Works for us and its fine if other people want to eat this. I hope I don't encounter moms who want to hold me down while they cram a cheeseburger down my 4 yr olds throat.[/quote]

I don't feel the need to cram a hamburger down your 4yo's throat, I feel envy!  I want to find out how you avoid fast food!  I know it's not rocket science, but I just hate to cook and especially on the weekends I just give up and my DH convinces me that running by McD's isn't going to kill them once a week.  Ugghhh!  Maybe that will be my new year's resolution next year :-)
