One of them, once upon a time.

I had my daughter totally trained. We'd go into the market, and she'd
see something bright and colorful and want it, so I'd say
"Yes, it's beautiful" or "Hi, Elmo/Barney/Mickey!" and she was
delighted.

Then when she was around 3, she went to the store with Daddy, and came
home with the Elmo balloon. I warned my husband that if I had the
least bit of trouble, he'd never hear the end of it.

He's never heard the end of it.

I dunno. That stuff is so addicting it doesn't live very long at my
house. I also can't vouch for how it would fare in all of your
humidity over any length of time.

now, to be fair to lot, you have to remember his daughters got him
drunk first. but if he was so drunk he didn't realize what was
happening, i wonder how he got it up? the lord truly works in
mysterious ways.

she
thought she was being a nice mom, maybe rewarding the kids for not making
a
scene at the store, whatever. But she's getting her kids hooked on candy
at
a very early age and that will haunt her mightily for years to come.

You could tell she was getting her kids addicted by giving each a
bag of candy? You must have been neglected as a kid.

Get a clue, please. Kids are naturally addicted to candy. Maybe
this is a biweekly award for behaving at the store. I would
hardly call that being irresponsible, Jill.

There is nothing wrong with a reward for good behavior in a store. Mine
knew from the get go if they behaved in the grocery store, they got a soda
while we waited in line. It became such a habit that I went in the grocery
with hubby to pick up something and he gives me the puppy dog eyes and says
"mommy, do I get a soda too? I behaved.".......they also knew that if they
whined and begged and made a general pain in the behind, the soda was
forfeit.
