bitter apple spray on the kid cereal

I wish I discover Greek yogurt and granola sooner, this shit is off the hook

1) Don't buy them
2) Don't give in when they whine

Parenting 101.

>>10964095
What if you sprayed this stuff on all the junk food in the house when your kids aren't looking, then give it to them so they think junk food tastes disgusting?

Defrost frozen burritos in the fridge and eat them for breakfast. Far healthier for you.

>>10964101
Greek yogurt + granola > cereal + milk

Agree with me bois

>>10964089
>>10964100
This. Also no t.v. it rots the brain.
>>10964103
Hilarity ensues. My dad would just like and tell me he was too poor to afford to everything I asked for even if it was like a 99¢ toy car. I got to the point I felt too guilty to ask for anything.

Prevent usage of smartphones until early teens.

You made it sounds easy

>>10964091

As a dude who orders for a supermarket, you are right.

We sell brokeass maltomeal cereal to the trash people at the beginning of the month, bran flakes and fibery cereal so old people can shit, and that is about it.

>>10964152
It is easy. Even if they literally fall to the grocery store floor with woeful wailing and gnashing of teeth I just calmly say, "you look like a fool and anyone who sees you doing this thinks you are weak, stupid, and gluttonous. They don't feel sorry for your lack of cereal. They feel sorry for your lack of sense, and this disappoints me as well." Then stare at them with cold eyes until they stop.

>>10964089
Why have you not taken a belt to this little Tucker's ass? Act like the authority you are.

>>10964195
*fucker lol

Just give em the ol' frosted mini wheats, they're my guilty pleasure for sweet cereals, and they're """"healthy"""" enough to prevent bad shits at least.

>>10964200
I actually liked Tucker better

Also, communication > violence

>>10964214
To a point, yes, communication is preferable. A full-on tantrum requires more though, it's better they learn now not to be a little douche, and equating their misbehavior with some form of harsh punishment, though not necessarily physical, is a lesson best learned early on.

steel cut oatmeal + maple syrup + butter pat > Greek yogurt + granola > cereal + milk

I wasn't trying to give that impression. Parenting is difficult but there are simple things you can do to take the complexity out of it. Just remember, permissible bad behavior begets more bad behavior. Don't be an asshole like >>10964194 this guy's hyperbole suggestions, but you have to remember that kids are a gigantic sponge. They soak up and duplicate the attitudes and actions of everyone and everything around them. Take advantage of that by talking things through with them, respecting when they want to speak even if they stutter and work their way through their thoughts, and make sure they understand. I see too many parents treating kids like they're stupid simply for not having matured.

On top of that, the two biggest things that have helped me are all about structure. Set both expectations and boundaries. By expectations I mean let them know what's coming. Taking them home from the park or a play date? Let the know how long they'll have. And when you want to go, don't tell them right as you want to leave, tell them 10 minutes before and the whole process gets easier if they know what's coming. By boundaries, I mean have a clear system of rewards for good behavior and punishments for bad behavior. Cry and whine? Ask them to behave and be polite. 2nd time, let them know they may lose dessert privileges, screen time, etc. and if they persist, enforce it. ENFORCE IT for the time you've specified, because if you give in you only show them that it works.

>>10964089
Stop letting them watch TV w/ commercials.

>>10964194
You must be delusional if you think a kid is even going to understand most of those words let alone appreciate the emotional sentiment behind them.

>>10964299
>He thinks I was being hyperbolic
My answer is nicer than what my Dad would've done if I threw a temper tantrum in public. He hit me at church once for that shit when I was like two or three and it never happened again. We're Catholic so people actually congratulated him after church.

>>10964377
With that amazing parenting, he's got a son who shitposts on 4chin.

>>10964296
>maple syrup
>liquid sugar
literally the same thing lardass

>>10964376
Most (non-autistic kids unlike you) understand what is shame.

>>10964377
Having a shitty parent isn't a great justification for being slightly less shitty, and you act like you'd be proud of being that awful. You should probably get a little perspective and maybe some therapy before you ever consider not using birth control.

Willingly? Let them wander aimlessly in the woods for a week, convinced that you've abandoned them forever. Then retrieve them. Their survival instinct will have kicked in, imbuing them with a newfound appreciation for life and a deep sense of self-reliance. Your kids will go on to accomplish great things, and some of their names will feature in future children's textbooks.

>>10964401
or they'll die

>>10964095
>he thinks people are ferrets
I love bitter apple fruit loops

>>10964403
Yeah. Either or. It's worth the risk, wouldn't you say?

>>10964299
Thanks I'll keep that in mind, it's also a bit tricky since you can't be double standards, the things you ask them to do, you need to set yourself as an good example.

I remember having hard time to listen to my dad telling me not to smoke when he is a smoker himself

>>10964381
You too :^)
>>10964400
I love my Dad, he was always present in my life and always positively supported my good behaviors and habits while introducing me to other good behaviors and habits. I was always well fed and clothed and was able to pursue any passion I wanted within reason. I deserved to get spanked that day and I learned a valuable lesson, don't fuck with people at their house of worship it was not only disrespectful to my family but everyone who went to mass that day. These behaviors by children are so unacceptable and irrational that you cannot for a moment let them think that you are entertaining any serious merit or justification for their actions. Entertaining this is why we see the rise in haughty and superficial self aggrandizement in youth today, they were never properly humbled with a simple open handed slap. Because it isn't a blow to the body that does the disciplining, it's the blow to the ego that your desires will not be fulfilled or even compromised with. They will be slapped down uncompromisingly. But like any other form of punishment it must be used sparingly and appropriately or it loses it's psychological impact and hardens the child to the point that they no longer fear the punishment and just resent being punished.

Sometimes, just sometimes

I wish I had pets instead of mini humans

>>10964469
Your intent is reasonable. But speaking like that to a child is far more damaging than it is helpful, and anybody who will try to justify striking a child is seriously misguided. I know you're only coming from your own experience, but it's possible to raise an amazingly well-mannered and disciplined child with neither harsh words nor physical abuse.

>>10964101
Granola and yogurt is to sugary cereal what Fettuccine Alfredo is to mac and cheese; both are the same thing yet people feel better about themselves for eating the former.

>>10964376
children are a lot more intelligent than most people think. the only word in that post a child over 4 years old might have trouble with is gluttonous. babying children and assuming they're retarded turns them into retarded manbabbies.

Does ck have the oldest age group among 4chan ?

I don't have kids but I like parents thread

>>10964494
Those weren't harsh words they were accurate description of exhibited behavior. I have absolutely never met a well mannered person who was never spanked at least once and was never given stern, blunt, but not profane talking downs at least a few times. I don't know you or your child, but there will definitely be a time where compromise is not acceptable and they will exhibit unrelenting opposition and you ought to do one of these or else the opposition will become stronger and more frequent. Eventually, if you have an intelligent child, they will simply weight their desire for what they want against your likely punishment and they'll decide that they would rather play in the park RIGHT NOW longer with their new friend than enjoy dessert later tonight. One thing children have MOST trouble with is delayed gratification so withholding later rewards won't be bullet proof

>>10964537
That's a misguided assumption and it's getting tedious talking to an ignorant brick wall. Good luck to your future kids.

>>10964089
keep them away from the constant barrage of marketing, numbnuts

>>10964550
What happened to commercials....

>>10964557
What about them?

If you actually do things with your kids instead of just sticking them in front of the TV or handing them a tablet they won't see many.

>>10964557
sjws (i.e. cancer) happened

>>10964384
>granola
>not loaded full of sugar

Actually read the nutrition facts on granola before trying to act smart, mongo.

you'll never procreate little buddy, enjoy the threads though

>>10964570
I have a job huney, ain't got time to raise my wife's kids

Give them honey bunches of oats

>>10964091
thats not true my roommate almost eats an entire box of cereal every day
EVERY
DAY

>>10964091
I eat only plain Cheerios with almond and pecan chunks and Silk's almond coconut milk when I want cereal. It's delicious.

>>10964089
By telling them to quit whining or you'll spank them like the brats they're are....and then spank the shit out of them when they call your bluff and continue to act like little shits.
