[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. My mom's had epilepsy for my entire life and took pills for it four times a day throughout my entire childhood.  I used to BRING her the anti-seizure pills with a glass of Coke as a little kid. I would check her pillbox and come running with it if I saw it was past the time she was supposed to take one and hadn't done it yet. They all lived on the lazy Susan above the kitchen sink.

And I was the impulsive, bad decision maker kid of the family.  Yet I STILL never would have taken her medicine. And I didn't even know it was for epilepsy until I was in 12th grade. I just knew my dad made sure she took her pills, so we did too, to help him. [/quote]

Op's children are likely toddlers. I highly doubt you were doing this for your mom at age 2-3. And i also doubt you could reach the lazy Susan above the kitchen sink at that age. I doubt your mom kept her meds in your reach when you were 2-3.

My child is 10. I haven't had to worry about her taking medicine for years. With my permission she gets herself children's Advil when needed. But when she was a toddler you'd better believe we made sure all meds were locked or kept way out of her reach. Pp when you have kids I would hope you understand that toddlers don't have the impulse control or maturity to understand reliably that what looks like candy isn't candy and might kill them if they take it.
