But I feel mean when I'm eating my ice cream and they are crying over in the corner.

- taeric 4y agoHa! Yeah, you do have to not be a jerk to the kids. Such that they still learn more from imitation than they do lectures or dictation. If you want them to see that "skipping dinner to have a snack" is not the norm, you have to not do it. Which, to bring it back to this thread, I find it very unlikely that unlimited access is at all a universal good idea. Might have worked on 2 of our kids. Would fail dramatically on 1 of them, though. Similarly, anyone that says that just give their pets unlimited access to food, is lucky to not have one that would just binge forever.

I didn't know until I had one that a lot of huskies will actually only eat when they're hungry. It's usually nice, because I can just leave the food down and she'll eat when she wants. It's not so nice when I'm dog-sitting and she doesn't eat promptly, so the other dogs usually raid her bowl.
- taeric 4y agoYeah. It is the mixing of behavior that gets really tough to deal with.
- conductr 4y agoIt’s like humans have evolved where children begs for easy calories. Adults feel guilty for depriving them, especially while consuming said calories. I wonder if bird parents feel guilty for digesting their chick’s supper.
