So then I'm curious. What would be the problem with him having it everyday?
Why does he need to throw a tantrum because you said no? (That was your
original post, I think.) If the question doesn't bother you, is it the
eating of ice cream for breakfast rather than desert that bothers you? The
eating of ice cream rather than the breakfast you've already prepared? I'm
not trying to start an argument BTW. I'm really interested in your answers
and experiences. :o)

>>>Well, I'm not Olivia or a TCSer (too rigid, and at times absurd for
>>>me),but that doesn't mean I haven't found some value in thinking outside
>>>the box on some of my formerlly held parenting beliefs. :o)>>>

>>Yeah, me too.>>

Cool! :o) Then let's keep on with this part of the discussion.

Life is good.
