My son is an addict. It's so hard to say no because he's so happy when he can get one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorrynotsorry/page/2#post-2782404 Thu, 26 Oct 2017 19:28:06 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2782404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ocean81: @wrkbrk: we do this too. I won't let them eat anything that we pay by weight like grapes or bananas, but the grocery store is the ONLY place that my son will eat blackberries or raspberries, so we usually end up with an empty carton at checkout. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorrynotsorry#post-2782231 Thu, 26 Oct 2017 12:12:20 +0000 nana87 2782231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ocean81: lol at least she thinks you deserve a treat too!</p> <p>@erinbaderin: oh lo1 recognizes starbucks too! except instead of banana bread she wants a cakepop... REAL healthy habits I'm instilling :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorrynotsorry#post-2782110 Thu, 26 Oct 2017 07:27:59 +0000 erinbaderin 2782110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ocean81: My son recognizes the Starbucks symbol. "Mommy, there's a Starbucks - can we get some banana bread?" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorrynotsorry#post-2782108 Thu, 26 Oct 2017 07:24:26 +0000 petitenoisette 2782108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetCaroline: @wrkbrk: Same with the paci. My LO turns 3 in February as well and she's fine without it to sleep at daycare but otherwise it's required at night and in the car (which we had weaned off of at some point but that didn't last :silly: ). We're having our second right around her 3rd birthday so I don't have high hopes that we'll be able to get her off of it then either. Her dentist told me it's not a problem until her adult teeth start coming in so it's not a battle I'm willing to fight right now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorrynotsorry#post-2782106 Thu, 26 Oct 2017 07:18:59 +0000 wrkbrk 2782106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetCaroline: First if all 3 in February is 2 and a half 😂 Second of all, same. He looooooves his paci. And it’s the one with the stuffed lamb hanging off of it so kind of hard for other people to miss 😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorrynotsorry#post-2782105 Thu, 26 Oct 2017 07:17:54 +0000 wrkbrk 2782105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ocean81: I have literally never seen anyone else do this IRL - I’m so glad people are out there who do it too! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorrynotsorry#post-2782058 Wed, 25 Oct 2017 20:10:52 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2782058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: exactly! I sometimes get a bit worried that my cards won’t work when I get to the cash and we’ll have eaten something we haven’t paid for yet... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorrynotsorry#post-2782052 Wed, 25 Oct 2017 19:38:32 +0000 ocean81 2782052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petitenoisette: The TJ stickers are everything! Haha</p> <p>@nana87: I used to have to bribe my 2 year old with munchkins to get in the car with her baby brother 😬 Well, she's no longer scared of him but she recognizes the Dunkin' Donuts sign and requests them now. Mommy, get a coffee and I get munchkins! Oops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorrynotsorry#post-2782049 Wed, 25 Oct 2017 19:33:22 +0000 ocean81 2782049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: I wouldn't even contemplate not doing this! She usually eats a full meal during our trip to the grocery store. Banana, cheese, pouches, rice cakes.... :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorrynotsorry#post-2782046 Wed, 25 Oct 2017 19:11:29 +0000 SweetCaroline 2782046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kid will be three in February and she's addicted to her pacifier. She can only have it in bed at night and naptime (doesn't use a binky 5 days a week for a nap at daycare...), But she goes crazy jumping up and down, excited when she sees it.</p> <p>I know I need to get rid of it but I just haven't yet. Jinxing sleep sounds awful. My mom said my brother willingly threw his in the garbage at age 3, so here's hopin'... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorrynotsorry#post-2782043 Wed, 25 Oct 2017 18:45:20 +0000 MrsBucky 2782043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petitenoisette: hah! My kid didn’t get offered TJ stickers, but didn’t say anything so neither did I. Then we got to the car and he said “oh no! Where are my stickers?!?! And I told him, next time you can ask nicely for them. Life lesson?!?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorrynotsorry#post-2782007 Wed, 25 Oct 2017 15:58:57 +0000 snowjewelz 2782007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petitenoisette: omg my almost 3 yr old is always like no, mommy YOU tell them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorrynotsorry#post-2782000 Wed, 25 Oct 2017 15:27:14 +0000 petitenoisette 2782000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DesertDreams88: I barely try with veggies either. Last night we had French toast for dinner (so healthy!) and so I gave her a few baby carrots on the side. She did try them but spit out and I just thanked her for trying. What are you gonna do?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorrynotsorry#post-2781999 Wed, 25 Oct 2017 15:26:10 +0000 petitenoisette 2781999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@newlypregnantlady: @wrkbrk: we do this every time we go to Trader Joe’s. Juice from their sample station and we open a box of cereal bars. She also loudly demands stickers but won’t actually ask the cashier for them herself or say thank you (but she will say she wants more of a different type ). I hope we are not raising a brat. :silly:</p> <p>ETA: she is only 2 so the refusal to talk to the cashier is more about shyness than being rude! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorrynotsorry#post-2781998 Wed, 25 Oct 2017 15:22:31 +0000 nana87 2781998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo1 eats really badly. Like, we live across the street from a Dunkin Donuts and we use donuts as a bribe to get her out of the house...SHe's somehow extremely skinny still so I don't feel that bad, except of course then she refuses to eat healthier options... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorrynotsorry#post-2781997 Wed, 25 Oct 2017 15:22:14 +0000 wrkbrk 2781997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Goose: I love it. I mean we are paying anyway, RIGHT? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorrynotsorry#post-2781996 Wed, 25 Oct 2017 15:21:01 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2781996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: I do this regularly. We go to the pouches aisle and pick out a pouch to eat at the store (she’ll only eat them in the store anyway) and I have also opened a loaf of bread and given her a piece when she was hungry. Once, while pregnant, I opened a popsicle for myself...I figured no one would say anything to a very pregnant lady. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorrynotsorry#post-2781994 Wed, 25 Oct 2017 15:18:40 +0000 wrkbrk 2781994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@newlypregnantlady: I can do you one better. We let DS open food we are buying at the grocery store and eat in the cart while we shop. How awful is it that he now expects, eg., to eat a banana and a granola bar while shopping?!?! Then we check out with an empty peel and an open box of bars....... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorrynotsorry#post-2781886 Wed, 25 Oct 2017 09:33:53 +0000 newlypregnantlady 2781886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About half the time when we go grocery shopping I buy the toddler a big pastry or cookie from the Starbucks in the store so she’ll eat quietly while I grocery shop. The other day she ate a huge Starbucks chocolate chip cookie at 9am. But I also got an hour-long shopping trip completed with two kids and no crying, whining, or tantrums. </p> <p>Also, my 4 month old is 100% addicted to pacifiers.</p> <p>And the toddler sleeps like a newborn and is up every two hours, so between the two kids I’m up 5-10x per night. Once a week I let the toddler watch PBS kids for a couple hours just so I can actually spend some time relaxing and maybe drink a hot cup of coffee and put the baby down for a nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorrynotsorry#post-2781839 Tue, 24 Oct 2017 23:30:42 +0000 ALV91711 2781839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catlady: DS too. Not sorry, makes the mornings smoother. He eats and watches a cartoon while I shower and get ready. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorrynotsorry#post-2781822 Tue, 24 Oct 2017 19:15:17 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2781822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: ha ha, me too! I popped into Barnes &amp; Noble today to use the restroom and spent another 10 minutes perusing the Halloween theme book display. Midway through Curious George Goes to a Costume Party LO pulled out Curious George Builds a (Bird) House. He know what he likes! Lol</p> <p>@snowjewelz: Yeah, we live by wet wipes during the week and scented lotion j/k.</p> <p>DH started this, but LO now watches an episode of Lion Guard after afterschool. It does give me a chance to make dinner for us when I am by myself during the week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorrynotsorry#post-2781820 Tue, 24 Oct 2017 18:38:53 +0000 erinbaderin 2781820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can’t pass a bookstore without buying them new books. I guess if they’re going to be spoiled I’m ok with them being book-spoiled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorrynotsorry#post-2781809 Tue, 24 Oct 2017 16:47:39 +0000 Mrs. Cereal 2781809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids watch pawpatrol every single night before bed. I need the time do relax and it is the only thing that they do during the day that is quiet and calm. I'm not sorry at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorrynotsorry#post-2781806 Tue, 24 Oct 2017 16:31:48 +0000 gingerbebe 2781806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids get desserts and treats basically every day. Its not like a huge portion or anything, but it makes them happy and they don't really get treats from anyone but me (minus school birthday treats), so I'm happy to oblige. 1/4 cup of ice cream in a cone and all is right in the world for 20 minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorrynotsorry#post-2781803 Tue, 24 Oct 2017 16:19:51 +0000 mrskansas 2781803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last night my kid ate nachos and a cupcake for supper while watching Bubble Guppies.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorrynotsorry#post-2781802 Tue, 24 Oct 2017 16:17:30 +0000 Mama Bird 2781802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids go to bed at 9 PM. I don't understand where they get the energy, I thought toddlers are supposed to crash at like 7... oh well, at least we get some quality time together in the evenings. #sorrynotsorry </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorrynotsorry#post-2781796 Tue, 24 Oct 2017 15:54:48 +0000 SweetiePie 2781796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm almost 20 weeks pregnant and my son gets a lot of YouTube these days. Like, a lot. </p> <p>@gingerbebe: Mine tells me alllllll the timmmmeeeee that he doesn't feel good just because he loves medicine - grape motrin, bubblegum kids pepto, etc. He is the boy who cried wolf now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorrynotsorry#post-2781785 Tue, 24 Oct 2017 15:05:58 +0000 catlady 2781785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 4 year old gets to pick a TV show to watch every single weekday morning. On weekends, she gets like 5 in a row. Not sorry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorrynotsorry#post-2781767 Tue, 24 Oct 2017 14:01:32 +0000 DesertDreams88 2781767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have somewhat given up on forcing my kid to eat vegetables and I'm hoping all the fruit makes up for it. I'm tried of cleaning up peas ETC from my kitchen floor.... </p>
