(I was allowed as much Coca Cola and snacks as I wanted from an early age) and watching lots of tv, but we both wound up going to Ivies and having good careers (my husband is a successful surgeon), and we are both very trim and fit physically now. So his feeling is, if we turned out fine, why not let our kids eat crap and watch tv and enjoy themselves? He thinks it basically doesn’t matter in the long run - and if you look at me and him, he’s right. How do you all handle this in your households?
That’s a good point- I guess we do our best and then see what comes out in the wash 🤪🤷♀️
I'm very similar to you, except by the middle of highschool I was severely obese, along with my sister and mom. I ended up doing a crash diet, huge lifestyle change and have been consciously eating since then.
The one tip I would have given my young self, and work hard to impart on my kids is what is healthy food VRS sometime food and why. Give them the info as to why a cookie is a treat and why carrot sticks are an all day food. And then let them have a cookie a day BC everyone deserves a little treat now and then.
We had an amazing dentist who said- don’t prohibit your kids from eating sweets or sugar. They have to learn that it’s ok every now and again, otherwise they will hoard, hide, over indulge, and generally form an unhealthy relationship with ‘treats’. Everything in moderation mom! Having said that- the permissiveness of my fucking husband when it comes to treats... it’s just not how I was raised. I guess that’s why there are two of us. Mom is more strict. Dad is a free for all and we fall somewhere in between. My oldest (6) is satisfied with three gummy bears a night or a few (like 5) skittles after dinner during the week- things like that.
Yes!!! My husband is so much more permissive. The only good thing is he’s not around for their dinner 4 nights/week so I can just do my 5 gummies or spoonful of ice cream without interference 😂
Yeah my kids have fallen into a pattern where they expect dessert every night. Usually 4 or 5 fruit chews or choc chips. My husband gives them bigger portions. I think I need to talk to him about it because maybe he just doesn’t know.
On the plus side, my kids will also stop eating when full. We get the kiddy size ice cream and they often never finish it even over the course of several days.
It’s exhausting to control it when the husband feels differently though - makes me want to give up!
I echo what EP 1 said. We had virtually no sweets or junk food in our house growing up and I would over indulge when I had the chance. My approach now is moderation. My kids know healthy food vs treats and have to eat healthy food before treats. By normalizing the treats they don’t become forbidden fruit. It takes us months to go through Halloween or Easter candy because they’ll just get 1-2/day.
I keep a lot of fruit around. And make smoothies and call it ice cream. She’ll have corn chips instead of potato chips. She hasn’t tasted any candy yet, but she’s only 2.5. I need a way to feed her more veggies. I add wheatgrass to her smoothies and that’s as much green as she gets. Overall, we just try to teach her moderation and keep junk out the house.
