Since giving my 2 1/2-year-old Oreos and Grape Soda for breakfast last week...?!
Question: for 3 days in a row... she expects it everyday now.
How can I convince her that this isn't a healthy meal, and she should consider turning it down every once in a while?
Is not accepting everything you're offered an important life lesson?

Wow!
You really spoil YOUR kids...
I just give mine a carton of cigarettes and a packet of instant coffee for breakfast...
And how they get to school?!? Well...let's just say that I've taught them how to hitchhike, those little devil monkeys...
(Tatooed doesn't know you, does she? hee hee...and neither does Tex, I see...sigh...oh lord! where's everybody's "tongue-in-cheek detector today?!? Sheesh! This is friggin hilarious...lmao...you really pulled in the "concerned parents" on this one...I'm dyin', 'ear...hee hee again...)
Why would you do that to your 2yr old. thats wrong......
bribe her with pixie sticks and red bull
Maybe you should not have started that to begin with, what kind of parent would allow their children to eat that crap in the morning.
You should have never given that stuff to her in the first place. It's treats like this that cause obesity in children. Do you want your child to be teased because she is fat??? Shame on you. It's too late. You need to set a better example for her.
yes but it is just as important for her to realize that just because she wants something doesn't mean she can have i t
Yeah thats just not healthy for her after you stop doing it for a while and replace it with healthier things it will be alright she might not like it at first but thats ok its best for her.
Maybe you should've thought of that before you decided to feed your kid a meal that isisn't healthy in the first place.
She's too little to understand the concept of "no thank you" on something she badly wants. Just don't offer it! Mine asks for cookies every morning and I tell her "no, you have to eat something good for your body. We'll have a cookie later after you've eaten something that helps your body grow". She accepts that and usually asks for an alternate food like yogart or fruit.
Your the parent if you know its not good for a child then why did you offer it too her in the 1st place.
This is an easy one, tell her no and dont give it too her, if she choose not to eat then thats her choice. Even better dont buy it and stock it inthe house for a month.
Yes, but expecting the Mother to set a good example is also an important lesson in life. I think you have already gave her the lesson that oreos and grape soda are good for breakfast.
At two they don't give a damn about life lessons, they want sugar. You are going to have a hard time because you are the one who gave it to her in the first place. You showed her it was ok - you are going to confuse her now. Good going!
On a less judgmental note - get the junk out of the house!! What you don't have, you can't give her! Fill your fridge and pantry with healthy choices. Fruit, yogurt, whole grains, fresh veggies, eggs, cheese....she'll start to love good food or she'll get so hungry she'll have to eat it.
Hmmm, interesting take. I didn't think about it that way. It is indeed an important life lesson.
However, she's a bit young yet, so perhaps that lesson should wait until she can make the good decision, with you guiding her until then.
If you already know it's not a healthy meal, why would you give it to her? Duh!!!
Some people just shouldn't reproduce!
oreos and grape soda? you're on your own with this.
What kind of mother are you - you don't give a two year old that for breakfast so it's your own damn fault.
I would hate to see your dental bill.
might as well feed her fried chicken and a 40oz of king cobra for breakfast
Uh you shouldnt have done it in the first place bad parenting... If u cant afford food go to SSVS.
your kidding ....right? you got yourself into that...get your dumdazz out of it :P
You shouldn't have given it to her in the first place.
Tell her it's all you have to give her. This will evoke an immediate demand for something else.
Try to offer het something else that may interest her. Something that looks yummy but is more healthier.
of course she expects it. Shes two and she got a lovely treat for breakfast. You cant expect her to understand the meaning of healthy just yet but you can teach her healthier eating habits.
Not accepting everything you are offered is ok when you are older but when you are 2?
I hope that you will give her healthier things to eat and drink than soda and cookies for breakfast.
derr.....my brain urtz
Um- not the best breakfast! But I have been there- you do what you gotta do sometimes!
here's something that worked wonders for me with two little boys. Tell her you don't have anymore and you went to the store and they were ALL OUT!!! Oh no what can I do??? Usually they respond with sympathy and say something like 'that is ok mom I will have something else'.....this even helped me potty train! I told my boys I the store ran out of diapers!!!!! Good Luck
NEW PARENTS!!!! ARRRGGGGGGG!!!!!
At 2.5 years of age - it's up to YOU to be the parents.
Giving a child oreos and grape soda is just plain STUPID.
Your important LIFE LESSON... don't invent a fake intelligence in your child to cover up for your mistakes.
Learn from them... and don't repeat them... if possible.
so youre saying that oreos and grape sodae AREN'T acceptable for breakfast everyday??
She's 2. She's a toddler, and toddlers think the world revolves around them. What kind of life lessons do you expect for her to learn right now? And what kind of parent are you for feeding her oreos and grape soda for 3 days in a row? It's a wonder she's not constipated right now. Dumbass!
Why did you even give her oreo's and grape soda?
Make it clear to eher that healthy kids don't eat that for breakfast, and if she wants it that badly she can't have any dessert [if you give it] or has to eat healthy for the rest of the day [no treats]
Very few people can refuse when offered, if you can teach this to your daughter she'll thank you when she's older. [peer pressure and whatnot]
damn yall get off her it aint like we havent done it honey its okay try one morning givin her oreos and milk then try coke and ceral that way you know she gettin something good and she thinks she gettin by with something
