Hi Sheribee,I can see you are a good Mum but I'm with Goodsoulette on this one. There are no rules in our house excepting "use your common sense" so our children have unlimited access to sweets and crap should they want it. As that's the case,and it's not forbidden and alluring as such, none of them ever eat it, because let's be honest strawberries , melon, oranges etc are MUCH nicer than packaged cr4p you can buy, so my kids eat healthily by their own choice, which imho sets them up better for their future than giving them a complex about weight, health and food. You don't just have to look after kid's physical well being, but their psychological developement as well, so try and chill out as much as possible and you and they will have a much nicer, much healthier time, and deadman is right let them build their immunity up.

Id just like to say i think you sound like areally good mum,i think you may worry a little too much but isnt it better to be safe and aware of things than sorry? my mums very much the same around my brother. I think youve made the perfect start to bringing up some lovely children :) its a shame all parentsarent like you :)

Bless u all xx And they are fine!! Little bit of diarrhoea earlier from the little one but appart from that we spent the day makind paper mache bowls and xmas choccies as presents for family!
How many other parents spent all of their sunday doin arts and crafts with their kids? And im now tucking into a lovely umm.. playdough cookie mmm.
Thanks for all your thoughts and views, yes i do worry, too much i kno x But i never let them see it, they get to do all, if not more of what kids r supposed to do, climbing into their treehouse in the garden, making mud pie, i love it!! x
So i hope they wont b drinking anymore sour milk x and i bought them some choco coins today to make up for the dodgy shake!!
My advice if anyone is interested... Dint drink any mars milkshake, as u never kno!!! x lol.
