I see all these moms on CM saying they feed their kids fast food-but only on once in a while. Or they'll say their kids drink soda, have punch, chips, etc. only once in a while-as a treat. They say the kids are active, play sports, only play video games once in a while.
So either all the health-conscious moms in America are on CM, or some of them are lying.
1 out of 3 kids are overweight or obese.
About 1 in 400 children and adolescents have diabetes.
So who here is in denial?

Quoting Anonymous:I have a 5 and 3 year old...There is no need for them to get Soda at all! We eat out once a week whatever they want they can order. They can have chips/popcorn as a snack once-twice a week. They can have a piece of candy (1) if they eat all their dinner. They are outside when it is nice hours and hours during the weekend. We have a mini farm and 2 acres of land so the 5 year old has "chores". During the week they are at preschool so they are outside as much as time allows. If it is raining they will watch a movie or play in their rooms. They do not have a TV in their rooms.
They are both in the 30 percentile for weight so I guess I am not worried. They were both small when they were born. They eat a lot of veggies and fruit and love lean proteins fish /chicken.
No I think I just hit the button by mistake...lol..That depends the preschool all week could set the Working vs stay at home debate in to high gear.

Thanks. I'm getting so confused with all the anonymous replies. some people are actually getting huffy because someone dared to confuse them with another anonymous replier.

HEY!!!! I put the tv on to have "background" noise, but only when I'm alone. I hate a quite house....it scares me....ha ha ha.....
Quoting LilyofPhilly:Oh, I know! What is up with parents having to leave a TV on all day and night-"for background noise"?

Well not me. Been since 07 and still haven't seen a reason to lie on here. My kids do only get soda as a treat- the sugar in it turns them into crazy kids (they get no caffiene, I'm not a glutton for punishment)
Fast food is a treat for us all...I prefer to cook. But on those nights I'm feeling lazy...bk or papa johns it is!
And the kids aren't old enough to play video games imo (5,4,3, 5 months) but when they are, they'll be buying the system themselves, just because its how I was raised and it taught me to appreciate my belongings..
And what the hell is with the tv in a toddlers room fad?? My sister has a tv in every room, and I just don't understand it.
what to do when the special needs kid is the bully?
Have you ever kept a secret from your spouse?
