so my 4 year old practially begged me for ice cream after lunch, which i said no to many times..if you eat your supper you can have some then..he used every toddler trick to get it (puppy eyes..pleading..etc)
He just went upstairs to play with his upstairs toys...and im eating ice cream lol..he got it stuck in my head and i couldnt help myself..i have to finish it before he comes back and finds me out haha

Re: am i mean??? NBR

  • Yup...you're pretty mean...call him downstairs and at least share the ice cream with him. 

    LOL

  • As long as you aren't busted by him, you are good to go.

  • Nope not mean.  Adults get privileges kids don't. That's one of the perks.

  • It's our right as parents honey. "Do as I say and not as I do!" LOL. At least that's how my parents raised me!!

  • LOL, get it down quick.

    I try not to let my stepsons snack between meals.  If they are absolutely hungry then I will get something healthy out.  But with this pregnancy every time I put anything in my mouth they are right there with their hands out, how can I tell them no when I am snacking?

  • From a 4 year old's perspective, yes, you are incredibly mean.

    From your perspective, no.  The baby needs its calcium. ;)

    Nope!  You already said no, so you have to stick to your guns.  Plus, you said he could have some after dinner if he eats well, so he still has a chance.

    But you need to snack to nourish the baby!!  What's their excuse?  Growing boys I suppose, lol.

    This. It always irritated me when I worked for a daycare who wouldn't allow the teachers to eat or drink anything in front of the kids that they weren't given as well. Umm.... I'm an adult. They are 4. They don't care that I'm drinking a coke and eating a burger and if they do they need to understand that kids can't have everything adults can.

  • The rule in our house is that stuff like ice cream is a treat, and it isnt always bought or in the house. If my son says he's hungry between meals i have no problem feeding him but i offer apples,grapes or yogurt..something healthy and if he wants none of them than i simply say "then you cant be that hungry" he's pretty good for eating fruits and veggies..but he knows the ice cream was bought last night haha so he's gonna do everything to get it lol
