Treeholm .... There are only two posts removed and they were by 5 monkeys and they were only saying the same thing as yours almost verbatim .... The cat fight start when skysue said something to daycare whisperer about being discriminatory ..... I agree with playfelt .... I too can tell the age of certain providers by the comments they make. I too am old school having been around the block a few dozen times with having my first child in my 20's and my fifth child in my 40's . I find myself commenting less lately and just reading and often chuckling.
I agree it's the parents right to raise their child how they see fit and it's not up to me what they feed their kids. I would not take too kindly if my caregiver (when I worked out of the home) told me what to feed my kids. While I feed my children a basic healthy diet and we grow all our own veggies in our garden, blanching and freezing away some and storing in our cold cellar others I do have fruit loops, lucky charms, and oreo cookies in my cupboard for my own children to have periodically. I would also be hard pressed to believe anyone who said their child (unless the child was under 12 months of age) had never had any junk food (sugary cereal, cookies, ice cream, cake, chips, French fries, ect). It's really too bad that this forum has been reduced to its current state....
Ooppps ..... My mistake ..... I just reread the entire thread and 5 monkeys posts are still there so nothing is missing ..... Sorry
