What do you do for snacks/lunches? Z. is allergic to all nuts and eggs, so I am limited in what I can give her to fill her up. Any and all suggestions are appreciated!

Comment on Plying my child with sugar at school by Deborah

I disagree with these moms that think this is not a mountain, or a cookie or two won’t hurt them. It’s my, and my husband’s, choice what our child eats. It offends me that someone would think otherwise. We choose to spend our time and money on well prepared, healthy food that does not contain sugar, food coloring or additives. When my child starts kindergarten, his teacher will be told that he is not allowed to eat candy or cookies or cakes, and will instead have fruit or other “treats” provided to him. People, please stop the madness that says we must celebrate with sugar and other foods that act as toxins in our bodies. Any study that shows that sugar does not effect a person’s mood is not based on science, it’s based on money – money paid to a researcher by the sugar industry. Stop for a moment and listen to your own body when you eat sugar, drink caffeine or alcohol. Notice a difference in how you feel? Really listen. Yup, that’s what I thought – you can feel. And so does your child.

Comment on Bad Mother:You let your child climb trees at the park by Ina

Just let your kids climb the treas. Its great exersise and dont be worried they might fall… falling down is a natural lesson for kids and teach them what their personal limits are just make sure they cant get hurt falling down, and also if you deny tthem climbing the treeas they would do it anyways when you were not watching only difference would be they had no training doing it at all and most likely would get hurt .

I think you need to make friends with some “Granola” moms they are different from “Organic” moms in many ways Granola/Hippy Dippy moms think shoes are for sure optional and still don’t pump your kids full of junk food when you are at their house and tend to not be super controlling parents you will have to politely agree with the benefits of breast feeding your child for 3 years but let them know that it’s not for you. I believe that that is a better alternative to the organic moms who are simply trying to keep their child from every pesticides, scrape, bump and emotional distress and end up raising umm I am at a loss for a politically correct term so I’m going to say social retards and hope eventually I come up with a better alternative to that expression

Comment on Playdate Ettiquette by Dotcom

^ ITA. Every family is different. If the playgroup is HUGE there’s no possible way you can force your child (or other folks’ kids) to follow everyone’s rules. I don’t care how you ask (nice or not) it’s ridiculous to expect that of others. If you have a small group situation (one or two kids) and toddlers, I’d understand a little more, but all kids learn at one time or another that families are different.
