note to self about parenting…
it’s gonna be quite a while before i start thinking of having children. but one thing i hope i remember is that when you feed your kids unhealthy things, you, as the parent and completely by default, are going to be eating that garbage too. it always intrigues me when mothers of young children complain about weight gain and their inability to get back to the weight they once were. take a look at what’s on your kids plate… if you see chicken nuggets, pizza, donuts, french fries, kool-aid, ice cream, etc, chances are that very same stuff is finding it’s way into your mouth.
i guess i just want to remind myself, if by chance one day i look back at this blog for parenting advice, that raising kids is about example, and when you put your kids into a position to eat unhealthy foods, you are supplying yourself with temptations that you likely don’t need.
that is all.
