Two random parenting questions...
#1 What would possess an otherwise sane person to serve rice at dinner (and multiple times no less!) to children under the age of 10? Also...did you know that it's hilarious when you stick the individual grains to your face?
#2 Are there any parents who are NOT alcoholics?
Discuss...

Re: Two random parenting questions...
But rice is so much fun to play with and watch mommy clean it up (or try to) after
And I am not an alcoholic (yet) but if these 1 yr old tantrums don't stop I might become one. I am sorry to my dd that I told no to that she couldn't play with the oven cleaner bottle. Empty or not she wasn't getting it.

Re: Two random parenting questions...
I give my 2 and 5 year old rice and couscous - couscous is wayyyyyyyyyy worse than rice....thats why I serve it outside in the summer...
Sticking rice to ones face is a rite of passage

Re: Two random parenting questions...
DS loves rice. So much so that after he's doing eating (and the carpet as well) that I find some hidden away in his diaper.
Rice gets every where.
#2..Im not an alcoholic, never been a big drinker, but since having 2 kids....I haven't said no to a glass of wine yet.

Re: Two random parenting questions...
Did you also know that rice sticks well to your butt? And that an almost 3 year old will tell you about 1,234,867 times during his bath as he finds pieces of rice floating in the tub?

A. I serve rice in part because it's one of about 4 foods DS will actually eat.
B. I believe you know my answer

I did NOT know that...and I think I'll be keeping that little tidbit to myself.

Re: Two random parenting questions...
I can't speak to the rice but let me tell you at almost 1 year old, my DD can make a mess out of just about ANYTHING I serve her.
The other day I had to clean mashed potatoes out of her nose.
And for question #2- I am totally, 100%, a functioning alcoholic- yes!

Re: Two random parenting questions...
#1 My kids LOVE rice and I deal with the clean-up because I figure at least they are eating healthy food
#2 I am well known for my fully stocked wine and liquor table. It surprises me on a daily basis when I hear people say that having an alcohol drink is a TREAT or something only done on weekends.

Re: Two random parenting questions...
So my DH gives rice to my <1 year old! What can I say?? Most days he's finished with dinner by the time I walk in the door, but I'm the one who cleans the highchair and the floor.

3 constants in my house: Beer, wine & grey goose (and limes for the vodka)
Although the grey goose is usually reserved for the weekends. Usually.
