I would really hope most people would have imposed such a limit on their kids already.
- tredre3 2y agoImagine you spend a family day at the fair, a full 10-12 hours. Allowing your 8yo to get two slushies throughout the day doesn't seem unreasonable to me.
- tonyedgecombe 2y agoThe correct number of slushies per day is zero.

- tonyedgecombe 2y agoThe nice thing about having kids is you get to dictate what they consume, how they spend their time and when they go to bed.
- averageRoyalty 2y agoI've never met a parent in my life who has been able to dictate every meal, every moment of the childs day and their bedtime to the minute. I've met many who have tried, but reality doesn't work like that.
- tonyedgecombe 2y agoIt's really not that hard, just start the way you mean to continue. My children went to McDonalds twice in their youth, once for a party and once on a road trip with no other options. We would take them to the cinema and walk right past the food and drinks. Whilst other parents took their kids to the sweet shop after school we went right to the park. There were no complaints because they didn't know any different. Clearly a lot of parents don't do this sort of thing but that doesn't make it impossible. We were far from alone.
