WIPO by ambrosen (4.00 / 1) #1 Sat Aug 12, 2006 at 05:08:06 AM EST

My prescription ran out, and I haven't got it filled yet. It doesn't seem to be causing any problems.

That's anti-depressants, not ugly women or xboxes. I do intend to get more, but it'll mean a 10 day break. I'm a bit incompetent like that.

Some of them take a few weeks to build up an effect IIRC. Must be true, I saw it in The Sopranos.

normal kid thing by ucblockhead (4.00 / 1) #3 Sat Aug 12, 2006 at 11:03:46 AM EST

Not uncommon for three-year-olds to be little angels in public, little terrors at home. (From my experience of one.)

I understand the shirt thing (though we wouldn't do it ourselves.) We're trying to raise ours vegetarian, and while he isn't "sugar-free", we're trying to keep it to a minimum. Yet after repeated talks with the day care staff, we've given up...they still pour him fruit loops for breakfast. Every where we go, someone's shoving candy or ice cream at him.

Same goes for TV. At home, we limit it, and only allow "quality" programming that's been vetted...but we go to pick him up find him plopped in front of the most godawful shit.

Better than the other way around by TheophileEscargot (2.00 / 0) #4 Sat Aug 12, 2006 at 11:19:29 AM EST

The thing is as a Monkeyfilter poster quoted and said:

I started this t-shirt line primarily for my son, Zachary. He's a kid full of spunk and high-octane energy. He didn't have sugar until his first birthday, when he ate chocolate cake. It changed his personality and it was apparent that Zack had a super sensitivity to sugar. We have avoided sugar with him ever since and keep a sugar-free home, as much as possible.
She gave her kid sugar. Once. And he was excited. On his birthday. So she never, ever gave him sugar again.
This woman is completely and utterly batshit insane.

: yeah by ucblockhead (4.00 / 1) #5 Sat Aug 12, 2006 at 02:49:32 PM EST

Sounds like a normal kid reaction to their first massive glucose dose. Mine did essentially the same thing.
We're just fighting for a reasonable diet...I'm amazed at how people today seem determined to feed kids amounts of candy and junkfood that'd get you stared at as an adult. We were at Legoland and while most of us (including my son) were eating salad-bar veggies and fruit for lunch, my neice was eating the "kids meal", which was fried chicken-strips and french fries. I'm convinced one reason it's difficult for us adults to learn to eat well as adults is that as children we were trained to eat like crap.

Not according to my ongoing internet "research" project...
