parenting rules i never meant to break. whenmy son was born, i decided that i wasn't going to let him watch more than 15 minutes of tva day until he was five. that lasted about three months. i decided that they would eatwhat we're eating or they don't eat. but i can't let my kids go hungry, so i end up makingthe grilled cheese, peanut butter and jelly sandwich or mac and cheese anyway. we saidwe never give our kids technology at restaurants to keep them occupied. now, at the first peepwe hand over the i-pads. -no fast food. i don't remember how long i held out but i cantell you it got shorter with each kid. -i said i'd never bribe my kids. but i have beenbribing them with rewards like star charts
and treats since my oldest was two. hey, itworks. -no food in the car, and no jumping
on the bed. i now store food in the glovebox in center console and my monkeys are always jumping on the bed, supervised of course.-no sugar until the age of two. that lasted until my aunt gave my four month old a cake.
