I LOVE this reply! LOL! To answer the Q, as much as cookies may not be the best food for you, I do want to raise my kids with temptations and emphasizing a healthy attitude towards "bad" foods.
Cookies are good for the soul. Having one or two every couple of days is not going to kill anyone. THAT'S what I want my kids to learn - moderation.
I teach by example. I watch what I eat, I talk about the balanced nutrition of our meals (and sometimes the lack of balance), and I exercise - and not just going to the gym. If we want to go play miniature golf, we ride our bikes there, never drive, etc. This includes how to have a bad snack in a healthy way, KWIM?
As far as how to handle the sugar-daddy...I think mentioning in a polite way that there are empty cartons in the pantry that I don't like throwing away takes care of the outing of the lying.
I lived in a horrible marriage where this sort of thing would be thrown in the other's face - often at inopportune, embarrassing moments in front of friends - I never want to throw his lying in his face. Obviously, there is something deeper going on. After 16 months of dating, we're at a point of either not going deeper or getting deeper and trusting one another with our deamons.
It's hard to take the first step. I think he'd rather keep things simple.
But what do I want? I think a little deeper. Maybe it's a guy/girl thing.
