I have memories of sneaking junk food into my room to eat it so she wouldn't know about it and wouldn't yell at me. I don't really blame my mom, though. Yes, she *should* have been firm with me, but I was SOOOOOO obnoxious that I made it almost impossible to be firm with. Sometimes if the kids REALLY like the stuff, and they happen to be VERY strong-willed, it's hard. It took me until I was an adult to realize that that stuff is just crap food. As a child, I just really really liked junk food.

lol you sound like you used to be like my 8 year old
Luckily I'm stubborn as all get out and can wait out my children longer than they can wait out me.
If I gave in I would so have a hard time saying no to Little Debbie and her friends!
