There may not be any evidence that this policy is beneficial for the kids, but the accompanying sense of smug self-satisfaction is probably very enjoyable for the parents.
- new_hackers 9y agoI do this. I also like to throw in that my child only eats organic products, that have not been fried, that are also free of added salt and sugar. We also use cloth diapers, which I like to mention. My wife and I agree on these things and think it best for our child. Our relatives and cousins look at us like we are from another planet LOL!
- csorrell 9y agoThat's the kid you catch 15 years later sneaking out at night to eat a gas station burrito.
- veidr 9y agoIs that something like the sense of smug satisfaction that people who don’t have any children get from making condescending comments on Internet forums about parenting decisions made by people who do?
- dang 9y agoOutsmugging the smug surely does not count as substantive discussion so can we please just not go there? If it helps we can argue that it breaks the "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize" guideline. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
