Tom and Katie criticized again

In my area apple juice or milk

You can get soda in my area for the happy meal and we don't know if the 3 year old had a fluffy (hot steamed milk) in the cup. They are very popular in our neighbourhood so the kids can be a "grown up".

You can get soda here too it just isn't the standard.

I don't care if it was the residue from a Dirty Martini. Geeze, it's just residue. Considering the horrors little kids put in their mouths at that age, they are pretty lucky this is all it is.

[DesignFox]

I don't get why any of this is a big deal.

And RK mentioned cardboard boxes. Oh man, when I was a little kid, if my parents had those huge boxes...something like what a big appliance came in...I was in my glory!

There are also photos of me playing with a beer can piggy bank when I was about 3. It looks like I'm enjoying a beer! XD good thing my parents weren't famous. They'd have been raked over the coals for the joke.

Seriously, no one should care about this shit.

When I was a kid I cut off one of the handles of my jump rope so I could use it as my whip on my playset (built it myself with my dad and uncle) to play Indiana Jones.

[RecoveringKinkoid]

There is a photo of my husband feeding my child with a can of either diet pepsi or Mich Ultra with a nipple attached to the top of the can (I can't remember which, it was something scandalous).

It's a joke photo, of course. He stuck the nipple on there and then posed with her for the shot. She was a newborn.

I'm sure there are idiots out there that would break a nail in their zeal to call CPS over that.

Tom Cruise is a dangerous lunatic. I will scrutinize everything he does as it might be signs of something that could be used to rescue his child.
But the original topic? That's below even my level of criticism.

[IDrinkaRum]

As a general rule in my family, children can't start drinking coffee until they're 1 year old.

My daughter loves coffee! She doesn't care whose coffee cup she drinks from, but she definitely doesn't like it sweet like Mr. Rum likes his coffee.

My daughter was a little over the age of 2 before she gave up her bottle for sippy cups. She gave up sippy cups right before she started kindergarten.

[Boozy]

That's funny! I developed a taste for coffee as a young child, too. It's a strange thing for kids to like, because it's so bitter, but I loved it (and stil do).

I'd have to steal little sips from my mom and dad's cups, because obviously they wouldn't let me have my own.

[Lace Neil Singer]

I used to drink sips of beer from daddy's glass at an early age; it made me feel all grown up. XD

Wow, I guess I had a terrible upbringing then, according to all these people. XD I always liked the taste of beer as a child, tho I hated wine; and still do, actually. My parents didn't see the harm in letting me have a sip or two, rather than refusing to let me have any and making beer seem like some forbidden fruit. I think it's this attitude that's the reason why I've got such a good attitude towards alcohol as an adult.

[blas87]

Me too, Lace. I have hated wine ever since the first time I ever had communion.

I really don't know what induces vomit more, wine or tequila. Both of them, the second it hits my tongue, I gag.

My mom would make a huge deal when I was a kid that coffee would stunt your growth. Of my four siblings I am now the shortest and the only one that didn't drink coffee.

[McDreidel09]

Lol jack.

I was a year old when my grandpa spoon fed me cold coffee with milk in it. I have been drinking coffee for years. I am 5'9". When people tell me that coffee stunts your growth, I look at them weirdly and say " Wow. Then maybe I should have been 6 foot something..."

[blas87]

Coffee stunting growth is just an old wive's tale so that kids won't drink coffee.

I don't like coffee, save for frappuccinos, and I quit growing when I was 14....long before there was even a Starbucks around this part of BFE.

I used to go to Starbucks for italian sodas but they stopped carrying them and another coffee shop makes better hot chocolates (three kinds of chocolate mmmmmmm)
