Continually bring junk food or candy over for the kids?
Because I have changed my eating habits, I've been slowly changing our families overall eating habits as well. They won't ever be vegetarian (well for now anyways), but I've quit bringing junk food or candy into our home. The kids haven't protested at all because I'm purchasing way more fruit which they love.
But our generous neighbour is always bringing junk food or candy over to them. How would you tell her not to?
Before you share your thoughts, this neighbour is a wonderful neighbour who loves to share, but is very strong willed in the way she thinks. She always asks the kids how did they like the chips or how did they like the candy? I don't want the kids lying and yet I'm not quite sure how to handle this I've never been in this type of situation before.
