To be annoyed about Lollipops?

[Herzie29]

Or more specifically cafes and other places who give lollipops to your small DCs.

Several places recently have 'offered' DD (2.7) a lollipop when we have paid the bill. I know I could say no but she's already seen them by then and it's too late.
These are local 'greasy spoon' type cafes so I suppose that you've already chosen a not very healthy option by going in but, while I don't mind DD having the occasional egg and chips I am very careful with her sugar (not to mention I think they are a choking hazard).

I know I should just avoid these cafes, but it's most of our local options who are now doing it.

This is the second thread tonight where parents seem incapable of being firm.

just told mine they were for older children.
When did parents worry about what a 2 year old thinks.
You're the one in charge?

I always let em

People love giving kids sweeties

Kids love getting sweeties

If you're fussed about healthy food, don't take kids to caffs

My dd is same age, if she has been good she gets to have the lolly, if not I politely thank the shop person but say no thank you.

Her having seen them is a crappy excuse. And lazy on your part I am afraid

I nearly choked to death on a pea but my DD’s managed lollipops just fine. I would think many things that are eaten could be choking hazards. If you don’t want your DC to have a lollipop just say no.
