Teaching your children to eat healthy is very important. I severely limit junk food and soda for my kids. I very rarely buy chips and only allow my kids to have a sugar drink (including Gatorade – I can’t believe how many parents have bought into the crap that Gatorade is health drink!) about once a week or less. I do not absolutely forbid these things, however, as I am teaching my children moderation. Treats are okay, as long as you do not have them everyday. Having been the victim of an eating disorder, I am trying to give my children healthy attitudes toward food.
I never miss my son’s baseball games, if I can help it. It means so much to them to have you there. I try to plan meals that take a long time to cook (so that they can be in the oven or crock pot while I’m at the game) or plan something that can be thrown together quickly when we get home.
