CONFESSION OF A TERRIBLE PARENT!!!

    So, a report of a certain image brought me to this thread, and I removed the image.

    Then I started skimming.

    And I started deleting snarky "Tae Bo" references before they were reported.

    So I asked myself "Why am I enabling these cheap shots, instead of doing my job."

    Here I am doing my job:

    Folks, DROP IT WITH THE SNARKY TAE BO REFERENCES

    It's old, it's unkind, it's unwelcoming, and I will issue strikes for attacking and insulting the next time I come across these snarks. Some of you can't afford another strike. And I'm SO tired of cleaning this stuff up.

    Think before you post. Every user of this site has feelings, and I won't stand by for further baiting of ANY member WHATSOEVER.

    They are not going to finish half a pound of candy in one day. I don't think.
    If you put it out there, they will eat it.
    I may force them to eat it, to teach them a lesson.

    The kids need variety in their diet. Just chocolate isn't good enough. They need items like skittles and licorice. Shame on you.

    ^^This. And starburst and airheads - lots of color is important.

    Every meal needs something green. Add M&M's to the mix.

    When we put my daughter's rat to sleep on Monday I took her out and bought a whole vegan maple pecan pie and a pint of So Delicious coconut ice cream.

    That was our dinner in mourning.

    I did tell her that it was bad to seek comfort in food* - except for this instance - because DAMN was that pie and ice cream comforting.


    *I put a therapist in her Christmas stocking, so she's good.

    If you fill it with fruit, 9 kids with sticks will turn on you...

    9 kids, 1 stick.

    that's not FAIR!!

    then all the parents know which kid to bet on! 9 sticks! we have to even out our bloodsports.

    Perhaps I could have a gladiator-style tournament between the kids. They range in ages from 19 to 8. RAD!

    And I thought ''terrible parent"" meant you ate the chocolate and now there was nothing to put in the pinata...... Sorry, i'm having sugar cravings!! Can you tell? Good luck with the party!

    Man up and fill the pinata with fake blood. Then hire a clown to arrive just as the blood begins to spill, and make sure he runs in sobbing. Only then offer the kids chocolate. So they'll appreciate it.

    Should I have the kids do P90X or Insanity, to offset the calorie spike?

    Put some fake intestines in with the blood as well to add to the dramatic effect. And preferably have the clown look like this:

    Just put the HRM's right in the pinata and save on the money for the chocolate.
