Parents bring it on themselves. A while back I was ahead of a woman who had
small twins in one of those massive carriers that span an entire aisle
width. I'm checking out, she pulls in and grabs 2 bags of Skittles and
hands them to the toddlers who begin to greedily devour them. I'm sure she
thought she was being a nice mom, maybe rewarding the kids for not making a
scene at the store, whatever. But she's getting her kids hooked on candy at
a very early age and that will haunt her mightily for years to come.

Heh heh heh. Our kidlette likes her candy too, but when my DS took her
shopping a few weeks ago and offered to buy her some candy, she said, "I
have 'nuff sweeties at home." (I had bought her some a day or two
before, and she is learning to "make it last")

Of course, she came home with a balloon instead

I had my daughter totally trained. We'd go into the market, and she'd
see something bright and colorful and want it, so I'd say
"Yes, it's beautiful" or "Hi, Elmo/Barney/Mickey!" and she was
delighted.

Then when she was around 3, she went to the store with Daddy, and came
home with the Elmo balloon. I warned my husband that if I had the
least bit of trouble, he'd never hear the end of it.

He's never heard the end of it.

I dunno. That stuff is so addicting it doesn't live very long at my

humidity over any length of time.

There is nothing wrong with a reward for good behavior in a store. Mine
knew from the get go if they behaved in the grocery store, they got a soda
while we waited in line. It became such a habit that I went in the grocery
with hubby to pick up something and he gives me the puppy dog eyes and says
"mommy, do I get a soda too? I behaved.".......they also knew that if they
whined and begged and made a general pain in the behind, the soda was
forfeit.

Just watch some adults. They move slowly and expend little effort, with
some major exceptions. They need vegetables, not candy. Watch some
kids. They have to move a lot. That's why they have recesses
frequently at school. They need the candy for energy.

I wouldn't call it an "addiction". It's what they need.

I've been making that point for a long time.

"Read Genesis 19:8 where Lot is willing to have his own
daughters brutally raped. Some *family values*, and he will "bring
them
out to" the mob, since he sees them as his property. Later, these
same
two daughters have sex with him because they consider his right as a
male to have an heir as being more important than their own sexual
integrity. The Bible said that both of them had sex with him on two
successive nights, and that they got him so drunk that he didn't
realize
that he was copulating with his daughters. Yeah, right?!? If he was
THAT drunk, he would never have been able to get it up, much less
climax
inside them. Very implausible story. "
