so i have a friend, and her little brother is 3 years old. Their parents are photographers so, they aren't mostly home, so the sister is always taking care of her brother. He is a SPOILED brat. (sometimes she'll just comeover my house for sleepovers... worst nightmare i swear!) My family is very conservative and we eat halaal food, and do other stuff. They are VERY liberal. So usually whenever she comes they always go to McDonalds before or Burger Kind and bring Chicken nuggets or something like that. The 3 Yr old will spit it EVERYWHERE and yes, I get paranoid, and when I ask him to stop his sister gets angry and the 3 yr old does it more when I say to stop. He will come to my face and spit it out. He drinks coke the whole day (more then 5 cans).. if I give him water he will start crying and not shut up. He wants ice cream all the time, and donuts. That's all. His parents give it to him all the time. One time I went over, and their parents had like this whole closet filled with candy and coke bottles.
Let me burst your bubble too baby, how sure are you that the the baby food is clean of chemicals? We have chemicals in ice cream, tea, coffee, canned food, milk, juices. We feed this stuff to infants too.
Do you know babies immune system works a lot better then an elder one’s? It fights infections, chemical imbalances a lot quicker.
Carbonated drinks affect the little ones and the elder ones equally. Go eradicate them before thinking of smacking anyone. Or else smack yourself each time you have some.
Junk food, fizzy drinks are harmful, but a lot more for elders then for kids.
We need to keep the kids away from them so they dont develop a liking. But if it is for the sake of harmful side, we should stop ourselves first. Such double standards we have.
That's why many parents don't stop their kids from doing/eating such kind of stuff just because they can't resist these things themselves. But they do justify their position by showing attitude or saying 'wait till u've kids' lolz
i personally do try not to give my son sweets, chocolates, coke fizzy drinks etc
and i don't keep lots of those things in the house
unfortunately my parents do give him ice cream, infact nowadays he will go to their house and ask for icecream.
i've managed to limit it to no more than one but they won't stop completely.
i hate having to say NO to my parents but i have to do that to keep my son on some level of control.
Nadz you can easily sy i will do XYZ with my child, but understand there are other people in your family who will want to give laad to your child esp his/her grandparents and they may give your child these things which you can't snatch away from him/her and have to extricate from the childs hand by some other way.
