I went to walmart this morning for groceries, and took Skye and her summer companion Jaylie with. Me, and two 6 year olds. I was letting the girls pick some of their favorite things to eat, along with healthy things also. I think that everyone is entitled to their own favorite cereal, while they were trying to decide which each wanted, this rude older woman in a snuddy tone, says to me, "my kids never chose, they ate Cheerios, Shredded Wheat, or Chex Rice." It took me so off guard, that I was speechless.
SO, here is what I should have said, "Just because you didn't let your children choose things in their lives, doesn't mean that letting "mine" is bad. Decision making is a critical life skill, along with showing the cause and effect, if we choose it today, we will eat it for a week. Besides, who's buying these children their cereal, are you? Go get your groceries and mind your own business!"
