You give me a horse, I'm gonna ride it. I hear too many parents these days
whine and cry about why a kid does this or that but they aren't willing to
put their foot down and say NO, you don't get your frosted honey-coated
crap.

No, I'm not a parent. Know why? Because I'd bitch-slap the kid out of his
high chair and say fine, so don't eat! Good lord.

So, rather than just go buy a box of Honey Nut Cheerios you want to make
your own because your toddler won't eat the plain ones? Give me a break.
Again, who did you say was in charge? By your own statements you are
obviously not.

Tolstoy is boring; perhaps he should read Shakespeare. Specifically the
'Taming of the Shrew'.

One does not have to have children to understand how to deal with them. I
was one once. And it behooved me that my parents didn't cater to my every
whim just to get me to eat a bowl of cereal. How about, just go buy a box
of Honey Nut Cheerios if they are so friggin' important?

Oh...we would do that also. Re-introduce unpopular foods after a while.
She didn't like okra. I made jambalaya one night..and she got to try
okra again, discovered it wasn't so bad after all. Now she has decided
to be the official jambalaya maker in the house. She is also the
official cajun style fried catfish person. (She didn't like catfish for
a while)

My biggest mistake with that policy was doing it with salmon. Kid said
she couldn't stand the stuff. We made her try about a tablespoonful of
it...and that was all she wrote. She was hooked on it...to the point
of going to the corner store and spending her allowance on Leo's Smoked
Salmon.....man...my car would smell like smoked salmon for ever. She
and her friend would eat that in the car on the way to dog shows at
5:30 in the morning. We would go over to Seattle and she would spend a
chunk of change on smoked salmon at Pike Place. Her favorite was to go
to Oysterfest in Shelton...and go to the Squaxin Island Tribal Elders
salmon feed. She doesn't like cole slaw or fry bread (after the
requisite try period) so she would ask the little old ladies for just a
piece of salmon instead of the whole dinner. LOL..she would walk away
with twice as much salmon as people who got the whole dinner. I think
grandmothers are the same no matter what ethnicity - Eat! Eat! You poor
poor underfed child Eat!

Wow, thank god you are not a parent.

First, I bought the plain ones because I didn't think it would make a
difference. I have now opened the box & have offered it to him many
times because I THOUGHT he would eat them, but they are going to waste.
I don't like plain cheerios all that much either, so I thought I'd
doctor them up a little for me and for him.

Obviously you know NOTHING about children. You have exampled that fact
beyond your knowledge with just the types of comments you have made.
Please, never offer to babysit someones child & warn them to not even
let you sit in a room alone with thier children for over 5 minutes. I
certainly wouldn't let you. and ohh yeah, Do not even CLAIM to know
anything about children unless you have raised one. There is a big
difference between being a spectator vs being an actual participant,
ask any of your friends, oops, I mean co-workers or relatives.

No, she's demonstrating that she knows how to get a rise out of people

I have been to the dentist, I own some wooden furniture and I've watched
people prune trees. I know something about these things. To claim that
I am an expert, or could actually do these things (dentistry,
woodworking and tree pruning), would not be true.

Ok, crush up all the Cheerios, and make 50 lbs of meat loaf. I quess
you could use them in a meat loaf. I'd eat it.

But the question of the day is, does she purposely do it, or is it an
innate personality trait. I mean, I know Sheldon does it on purpose.
Nobody can be that way & not know they are doing it on purpose (l luv
ya Shelly, even though you annoy me sometimes) but my guess its the
latter.

Did I say I knew how to raise a child? Rather I said I chose NOT to because

children.

You know what? I don't want to spectate and I don't want to smell your kids
diapers. Killfile me if you can't read a simple sentence which states I
don't DO children! And then go buy a box of Honey Nut Cheerios and get over
it already.

Then the next time answer the question at hand, which was how to doctor
up some plain cheerios, instead of giving your unwelcomed perils of
advice. I don't care about your opinion & dont pretend you know what

Do it like we did it when we were kids: just add a spoonful of sugar.
If you look he

http://www.generalmills.com/corporat...aspx?catID=53#

you can see that Honey Nut is sweetened more with sugar than with honey.

If your kid really does like the honey, just add some to the bowl at the
table.

I've never eaten breakfast, even as a kid, and still don't. Why not
just give up? The nutritionists will have a cow, but they're wrong

I've never really known if honey is any healthier than sugar. Too much of
either is probably not the best thing for a child's breakfast.

Why not? Would *you* like to be told what you had to eat? I doubt it.

One of the biggest things we do in raising children is helping them to
be responsible adults. This involves them taking responsibility for
themselves. There are a whole lot of things that they just aren't ready
for yet, though. So what can they take charge of? What goes in their
mouths is one thing.

This is not easier for the parents. It's a lot more work for the
parents to set up the rules, guidelines and enforcement, than to just
tell the kid they have to eat what is set on the table.

You *do* have a problem reading labels, don't you? According to this:

http://www.generalmills.com/corporat...aspx?catID=53#

There are 3g of dietary fiber and 1g of sugar in a serving of regular
Cheerios. Although "oat fiber" appears on the ingredient list after
sugar, the first ingredient in the list is whole grain oats, which
contain oat fiber also.

Sounds good to me also. Unfortunately, kids can find sugar almost as
well as a dog can find a scent. I suspect that in way less than 5
minutes, he will be picking out the sweetened ones and leaving the
others. Worth a try, though.

I just drizzle a bit of honey on the top and maybe add a few sliced
bananas or strawberries.

Dan, I don't usually talk about this but I've been in prison. And YES, you
do get told what to eat and no you don't get to pick and choose. Starving
is not preferable. Dyed red hot dogs and canned pork and beans with white
bread aren't particularly palatable but you eat what you have to to get by.
Being catered to all your life makes being picky less preferable. Friggin
honey nut cheerios...

JUST BUY A BOX of f***ing Honey Nut Cheerios and quit whining about how to

Funny thing is, I never whined once about how to feed my kid. I
rationally asked how to alter a product & then responded to her
comments & accusations. I have mentioned about how he acts & what he
does, but I wasn't 'whining', Sheesh.

Yeah, because you're a child, yourself.

Don't worry about it Denise -- it's pretty obvious to anyone
reading this thread who the *real* child is...

The Nutrition Panel is the best money and time saver when buying
cereal.

You find a cereal, you think, "Hmm that looks healthy." Then you look
at the "Sugars" listing and see that, hecky-darn! 17 grams of sugar in
a serving! Even with raisins, that's extreme.

Back on the shelf, and on to something else.

I should find out how much sugar is in my home-made granolla. Or not.
Ignorance is the best spice.

I knew, when I read the first post, it would come to this. I haven't
finnished the thread yet. Has Saint Jill recounted her idyllic
childhood, wherein she sat quietly for 18 years with her hands folded
in her lap? How about the time she watched a toddler destroy her
property instead of just taking the item away, proving that children
are monsters?

All we need now is Greg Morrow calling Denise a Breeder Moo, and the
thread will be complete.

Probably like with fats, it depends on what "healthier" means.

Both are sugar, with calories. So eating too much of either leads to
weight gain and tooth decay.

Other than that, whatever. Insulin affects? Natural components?
Balancing of Chi? Who knows.

Accept for the preservative nature of Honey. That's pretty well known.

Plus honey tastes better. Buckwheat honey, thyme honey...Mmmmmm.

Also, locally in Michigan - Star Thistle honey. Very nice.

Wait, I thought _I_ was the breeder moo? I have five children and am
nursing.

I think this is one of the best ideas so far. Though I am partial to
the cheerio treat, like rice krispy treats. Anyway, if you can get some
more, I'd get some honey nut or the multi grain ones (they are really
sweet) and just use them half and half with the regular ones. This
isn't the hill to die on.

For Amira's first St. Nicholas day, we filled baggies with regular
cheerios, honey nut cheerios and multigrain cheerios, so she'd have a
treat in the morning along with the boys.

BTW, since I can't actually seem to make it to a phone, why don't you
come over with the kids and DH one of these days? Potluck, or otherwise.

Ranee
