Between the threads touting "OMG juice is the evil, how could you ever serve this poison to your kids, do you want them to be fat lazy slobs?" and the responses to name threads like "who would name her son William/Tom/Aidan/Bryan/Ryan/Connor/Sam or her daughter Emily/Sophia/Ella/Emma/Caroline/Elizabeth/Jessica -- it's so ugly/tacky/overplayed/overused/low-class/preppy/trying too hard," I'm beginning to wonder if there are 10 people that frequent every forum on this board and post the same questions and responses over and over and over. With some variation on "can you please affirm my choice because I'm so pathetic that I need a bunch of anonymous harpies to decide for me?" and "HATE IT."

Makes me thankful that y'all seem like complete caricatures of real human beings rather than any real human beings that I know.

Milk. Water. Iced tea once a week. Choc milk or juice every other day.

I try to make water fun by putting fresh strawberry, mint leaf, cucumber or lemon in there.

Water

Water

Milk, water, or sweet tea.

Water

Milk or water. But last night we pulled out the pear juice. It was that or miralax. My kid doesn't have any kind of a sweet tooth, through pure dumb luck.

For breakfast, the kids drink milk or juice. Occasionally my 12 yo or 6 yo will drink tea, but usually only if its cold out or of they are sick. I drink Coffee, Tea, or Water.

At lunch the kids drink milk, vitamin water, or water, occasionally hot cocoa or tea if its winter. I usually drink water, vitamin water, or soda.

At dinner there is more variety. My husband and I drink soda, water, vitamin water, seltzer, sweet tea, or Beer, Wine, or Hard Lemonade. The kids drink milk, water, sweet tea, vitamin water, seltzer, or hot cocoa or tea but thats usually in the winter.

My oldest son, who's 13 has little things he'll drink. He hates water, seltzer, vitamin water, juice, tea, pretty much everything except hot cocoa, milk, Gatorade, powerade, or soda.
We try to keep our kids healthy and good weight wise. Our kids are all either a bit underweight or exactly the right weight. None if them are overweight, and we don't want that to happen. That's why we try to give them a balanced diet, and not too much junk food and drink. They drink 2-3 glasses of milk a day, and they are only allowed to drink one glass of juice a day. If they drink soda during the week, it's only once. They drink Gatorade or powerade only when playing sports.

Water or milk.

It took me almost 3 months to quit drinking soda, with 2 doctor visits and one near hospital visit for caffenee withdrawl. Fuck no is my kid getting soda.

Compote lady: are you from Russia or the former Soviet Union? Compote in that part of the world is indeed a drink. And quite good.

(Special thanks to the pooping poster and the "it's not compote" poster, both of whom made me smile.)

Milk or water. Kids are 5.5 and 2.5.
