Dixiemamma..... I do not feed my kids crap... ..... for one thing... and.. my problem is when they are not getting these damn treats from me they are getting them at school or from friends...... or with my eldest daughter she has her own money and buys things when she is with her friends to "hide" when i limit her "crap".... It is a BATTLE........ you win the "mother of the year award"! As for me with my kids i am battling and as some who are where i am can tell you.. It is tuff.
Don't blame everything on your Mother... i am sure you made your own choices when she wasn't around.
