When other people's kids are with you and your kid...how do you handle situations where they want or want to do something you don't allow but they say their parents allow?
For example...you don't allow your kids to drink soda and you're at a restaurant and they ask for soda. You tell them no soda but they can have water or milk, the same as your kids. They say they don't drink milk and that their mother lets them drink soda so they want soda. IN A MOUTHY KIND OF WAY WHICH MAKES YOUR KIDS STEP BACK THINKING YOU'RE ABOUT TO DO A SNATCH GRAB.
You don't want to make it seem as if their mother is wrong for allowing them to drink soda right? Also...you don't want your kids to think that drinking soda is even remotely a possibility since you're raising them to understand healthy living, etc.
How do you handle? Have you ever had to deal with something like this?
