[quote=Anonymous]Your AP is an adult, you can’t treat her like a kid by restricting what she eats. A pack of cereals and or cookies are perfectly reasonable requests and it is for you to enforce rules regarding sugar with your children. Would you ever refrain from eating a Cookie at a friend’s or anywhere else in case their kids or somebody else’s kids saw you and got jealous? Or do you feel entitled to eat what you want as an adult and expect parents to enforce their individual rules regarding sugar? One of the privileges of being an adult is eating what you want, explain that to your children. AP is an adult she gets to eat sugar, you are not, you can’t. That’s very simple. You wouldn’t let them drink wine if they wanted to and would have no qualms reinforcing that rule so do the same with Oreos and a pack of sugary cereals. Hearing the word no won’t kill your kids I promise (though they might act like it for a minute!) [/quote]
