Do As I Say
When I look at this photo, I see four cute kids. It’s my job to make sure they stay that way and not menace society when they grow up. Every day I’m forced to make decisions that will influence my kids for many years. Make a wrong decision and the kids start their journey to the Dark Side. So, what do you say when you’re eating ice cream and the kids ask if they could have that for breakfast too?

You tell them it’s frozen tofu, NOT ice cream, and they’re free to eat tofu for breakfast if they wish.
The kids won’t fall for that one. They know ice cream when they see it.
No! There’s only enough for Daddy!
Then they make these sad faces and ask me why I didn’t save any for them.
I say, “Have some ice cream just don’t tell Mommy.”

I’ve done that before, but they alway tell mommy later.
I say, “Sure, on your birthday :)” It’s always been an option, but no one’s ever taken us up on it :)

I’ll try that and see if they remember next time it’s their birthday.
Hmmm … you can have some so long as you finish breakfast first … the rice and viand kind. Lol

It wouldn’t work with the Little Monkey. Once she knows she can have ice cream for breakfast, she won’t eat anything else until she gets it.
You smile and remember when you asked that question. :)
Hugs,

I usually tell them to ask their mom. Then they remind me I said I was the boss.
these are just very happy, natural kids. i’m partial to the younger daughter. she reminds me of my littlest girl. i’m sure they’d get along fabulously!

She’s cute, but she’s also a bully. She picks on her big brother a lot. Sometimes she taunts him. Other times she take his drawings. And sometimes she kicks her brother’s toys when he’s trying to play with them.
You ate ice cream for breakfast! YOu are mad… and what to say to the kids? YOu tell them only grown ups can have ice cream for breakfast… cos grownups are mad!

I don’t usually eat breakfast so I didn’t actually eat ice cream for breakfast. However, the kids were eating breakfast at the time I was eating ice cream because I was hot. My bad.
I would let them eat ice cream for breakfast. then when they come in the kitchen 30 minutes later because they’re hungry again, then give them the breakfast they should have eaten in the first place.
(I let Roo have a popsicle for breakfast yesterday. Then he came in later wanting his cereal.)

I think my kids would just ask for more ice cream.
i will them, “anak i’m sorry, i know that i should not eat ice cream before anything else, this is junk and you should not eat junk food for breakfast, even lunch or dinner. after eating your meal you can have some ice cream …but not too much because it’s not good for your health.” a little bit strict? well, madadaan naman lahat sa mabuting usapan.
btw, just read an excerpt of your blog in philippine daily inquirer.:)

I’m a bad influence on my kids. It’s a good thing my wife is strict when it comes to ice cream for breakfast.
I’m a sucker too. I personally have a couch my kids can rough house on because I never got to. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t spoil them. My kids do their chores and help out. There are just some things I give grace too because I felt the original rule was dumb in the first place.
I’m not sure what to tell them about the ice cream for breakfast. Surprisingly, my kids have never asked me for that. But, we are big on having cereal for supper around here.
Your kids are adorable! You have such a sweet family.

Sometimes I eat cereal for dinner too, but then an hour later I’m hungry again.
Ohh, that’s hard not to give Ice Cream for breakfast especially when they smile like your little girl on the far left!

What a beautiful family! How blessed you are. Give ‘em some ice cream for breakfast–on special occasions–and create a wonderful memory. :)
Sure, but only on the week-end ! I love ice cream more than kids do !

Ice cream for breakfast once in their life won’t kill them…after all..it has milk in it..LOL!
Tell them, “sure”. At night time tell them they can have it because it’s bound to be breakfast somewhere in another country. That’s like that song,”It’s five o’ clock somewhere”.
