She never gets juice at home/school so if she's at a party and she gets a juicebox, she goes nuts and drinks it allll at once! So, after the first box, she has to drink water or milk :P. I just tell her she can only have 1 since we have to "save them" for the other guests haha brownie on "Do you let your kids indulge at parties?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-kids-indulge-at-parties#post-1985572 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 17:14:34 +0000 brownie 1985572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ It's complicated. He has allergies so there is often things he isn't allowed to have. But we do bring our own safe version for him. He really isn't into sweets so he takes a few bites and is perfectly happy to throw it away. So we don't put restrictions on it because he does it on his own.

LO looooooves juice and we never have it at home, so she gets really excited. mediagirl on "Do you let your kids indulge at parties?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-kids-indulge-at-parties#post-1985517 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 16:31:05 +0000 mediagirl 1985517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Oh yeah. If there are juice boxes, she gets so excited because she doesn't get juice at home or at daycare.

She won't drink anything other than water though & she's only 15 months so basically her form of indulgence is walking around begging everyone for more & sitting on the ground while she eats lol she's a piggy.

But they both love juice and don't get it at home, so that's a huge deal at parties. fancyfunction on "Do you let your kids indulge at parties?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-kids-indulge-at-parties#post-1985467 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 15:52:54 +0000 fancyfunction 1985467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes.

But at this point, he is usually too preoccupied at parties to stop and eat. anonysquire on "Do you let your kids indulge at parties?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-kids-indulge-at-parties#post-1985450 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 15:38:14 +0000 anonysquire 1985450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @swurlygurl: I can't get that girl away from cheese.

I mean, sometimes, he won't eat the pizza that is served and he often refuses the cake if the frosting is too crazy of a color. autumnlove on "Do you let your kids indulge at parties?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-let-your-kids-indulge-at-parties#post-1984842 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 10:51:47 +0000 autumnlove 1984842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mamaof2: definitely!
