If it makes people go into a bettter mood, might a well... No one likes really grumpy people

Yeah...good job, Chantel. It's especially difficult to be pleasant when you are in a bad mood. Nice going. The doctors think I have a hiatal hernia too...I know how uncomfortable it is.

My ex just brought my son home from his house all sugared up and covered in mud and grass. This is why my son never goes to my ex's house. Is it too much to ask that he act like a responsible parent for a little while? ARGH.

As Steve said, "Boys will be boys". And it's a father's job to make sure his son knows how to get covered in mud and grass - I fully intend to do this whether we end up having boys or girls, if I just have a daughter I don't see why she shouldn't get to enjoy coming home covered in grass and mud and annoying her mother.
The sugar thing. That's something you only do when you're about to hand a child back into someone else's care (I may have done it once with my nieces... ).

i'm guilty of this! whenever they come over it's all cookies and ice cream. then i release them back into their normal environment...muhahaha

Fine. Then I will start feeding him bags of sugar before his father picks him up. *evil grin*....Two can play at this game.

that's the spirit!

My mom fed my niece and nephew nothing but candy, chips and such for the 6 months they were here. They gained 30 pounds. It's not all that good to load a kid up on sugar. They did nothing but scream and hit you, pull your hair and no sort of punishment made them stop.

This is the exact reason I do not want my ex giving my son a bunch of sugar. In all seriousness, my son has ADHD and is extremely sensitive to sugar and my ex knows that. Give him sugar and you might as well give him speed. Well, except in his case speed actually cures the ADHD...lol. You get my point!
