@Muzna

fortunately I didn’t have such interference…so I didn’t really have to stop anyone…and when we drank soda in front of her we would be sure to make horrible faces at every sip when we were being watched…she got scared and never tried it. to this day she does not like it. She may have a sip or two once in a while from my glass but she will refuse it if she is offered her own glass. She even refuses fruit juices (except mango ).

We drink soda all the time in front of Lila and tell her that she can’t have any. Is it a double standard? Yes. Do I care? No. I tell her she can have soda when she’s older. Once I was out at a restaurant with a bunch of friends and we were having soda and my buddy was having a beer. Lila was being really good and kind of asked if she could try the soda (she doesn’t do this very often), so I gave her a sip of beer, this was a 14 months ago, she hasn’t asked since.
