I was raised with a sweet tooth, it’s now rubbing off on son?

  • Posted on March 24, 2011 at 10:21 am

I was raised eating junk food and I stop eating candy so much, it’s an addiction sadly. I pretty much over come candy most of the time, but my family members like to give him cookies, crackers, lollipops and other junk foods to spoil him. He was such a good eater before I let his grandparents see him. Now he only wants crackers and chicken nuggets. He’ll freak out for a lollipop and I’ll say no and not give him one, but my husband will just cave and get him one. My son will not try new things, but my daughter eats cooked sushi, rice, meat, any type of fruit any type of food she’ll eat it. My son won’t even get close to new foods. I try so hard to make sure he doesn’t get candy, but my husband has a sweet tooth also…My nephew and niece have horrible teeth from sugary decay and I want my children to keep her pearly whites..I don’t want my son to ever have a lolli pop or piece of candy ever again, how do I put my foot down and get him to try and eat healthy foods, he’s only 2 1/2
he eats cheese, but refuses to eat veggies, he’ll just take a bite of a carrot and spit it out. I love veggies, we all do, but my son won’t even let it touch his fork.

Do you think someone who was raised by alcoholics/drug addicts can be a good mother?

My wife’s friend is 23 and is pregnant with her first baby.

Her father has been married 5 times, he has many DUIs due to his alcholism, has been in jail a lot and he is violent with women.

Her mother had boyfriends who beat her up, she was an alcoholic and drug user since her daughter was 1 and died of a herion overdose when her daughter was 20.

My wife’s friend has had many engagements with men she knew only weeks, and married a guy after 5 months of knowing him. They hate each other, she cheated on him after 6 months of marriage, and she asked for a divorce 3 months before she got pregnant on purpose. She parties all of the time and has had a drinking problem for the past 5 years.

My wife tries to help her friend, but her friend says she doesn’t have any problems and will be a good mom despite her plans to continue her lifestyle after the baby is born.

Do you think that she will be a good mom once the baby is born?
