Do you allow your children to drink pop/soda?

I voted other. They may have it when we are eating out, but we often get them water, milk, or juice instead. I don't mind them having it once it awhile, but I don't want them to get a "taste" for it.

Where's my 13% buddies?? Out drinking down a six pack of Pepsi in the tool shed?? :drool5:

 

:lol: :lol: :lol:

 

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm right here!

 

But I'll be off the computer for a minute or so because I want to go grab a soda.

my kids are only allowed to drink sprite and on a very (less then once a month) limited basis. We do have sparkling juice though for special occasions at home

[Rebel Yell]

Allowed since late toddler years- but it is more of a treat than am everyday beverage. And I have one who refuses to drink anything carbonated- she just hates it.

Yes but they never really drank it much until they were teens. They may a one a couple times a week. My 13 year old only drinks water but will have a sprite when we go out to dinner and a coke if we order pizza. My dd does not really like it but occasionally will have a sip of ours.

You know it! LOL.

 

I'm here, but can say that since we got our soda stream it's more of me out pounding down a liter of whatever flavor I had a hankering for at the moment.

I did not allow soda until after age five and then 7-up or sprite for special occasions only.

Indy was allowed small amounts of 7-Up/Sprite and Ginger Ale around 6 or 7 in moderation. He can have soda if we're getting fast food, but if we're at a sit down restaurant, he drinks water. At home, we drink water. If we watch a movie on the weekend (we usually do on Sunday), he's allowed a soda, but that's about it. In social settings I might allow him to have soda, but only one. After that, it's water. He's fine with it and almost never complains. James Bond and I do drink them more frequently than we allow Indy to have them, but that's one of the perks of being a grown up. ;)

Yes, I allowed it and didn't have an age limit (obviously not for a baby, but no specific age limit). I rarely buy soda or have it available, though. Kind of like cheesecake. I don't prohibit it, but there aren't so many opportunities to have it.

 

I don't drink soda myself - except for an occasional Limionata or Izzie.

[Baseball mom]

Yes, she is allowed to drink soda when she wants it. Her first sips were probably around 3 or 4. We are a soda drinking family.

 

I don't remember when they had their first taste of soda. They didn't have it often as littles but still had it some. Now that they are older I don't regulate to much. Like myself they take it by spells, sometimes drinking alot and other times never touching it.
