He offered to throw his drink away!

[mills1234]

AIBU- at lunch, with both children and their dad, who’s not around during the week. 2 year old says she doesn’t like the fact he’s got squash and she’s got water. He turns round, completely genuinely (!), and says “oh, shall I throw mine down the sink?”!!!! She says yes, and I interupted just before he got up from his chair to throw away his drink, because the 2 year old didn’t like him having it!!!!!! She’s 2! We are grown ups! We are parents that are supposed to set boundaries and teach them to deal with life!! AIBU??!!

Thinking about it, near all snacks I eat are 'childrens snacks' really. Space raiders, monster munch, ice lollies, iced gems, also party rings as PP said, munch bunch yoghurts...

Maybe my tastes just never grew up.

There's also a not posh peppermint squash in France that tastes like you're drinking mouthwash. It's minging.

The unsweetened lemon one from Pulco is my favourite thing. I drink lots of it, with sparkling water.

I don't drink alcohol of any kind, having become allergic to it about twenty years ago.

I’m drinking Robinson’s Orange & Pineapple right now. I love it. I drink loads of water but sometimes I just fancy a different taste. At work I take water in, most of the other ADULTS take in squash (diluting juice to me)

When i think of it i think all sweet things are for kids. I think adults should only eat food which burns their tongues and makes their eyes water. A diet of strong blue cheese and gherkins and booze. Nothing sweet, joyful or frivolous.

I drank Rhubarb and Apple presse the other day and i would happily live off that. It was so good. But as i'm a grown up i shall forbid myself from having it again.

And Twister ice lollies are just wrong.

Woah, woah, W-O-A-H!

Twisters are the icy cold fruit of the motherfuckin' Gods.

So enduring is my relationship with Twisters that I still call them Tangle Twisters.

Haha I have a freezer full of Twisters because the kids didn't like them and it never occurred to me to eat them Squoosh!

I think twisters are a bit wrong and disappointing in any case. I want an ice lolly OR ice cream.

I'll pop round and help you get through them!

I remember being scandalised when DH ate some of the kids jammy dodgers. He said they are 'just biscuits and not only for children'. Everyone knows adults can only eat rich tea or ginger nuts.

Yes, @ConfusedLivingDoll no ice cream and lolly together! Yuck! Bloody Twisters and Soleros, horrible

Oh i like a Solero, they are quite sophisticated.

Twisters are the icy cold fruit of the motherfuckin' Gods.

I can't get to grips with the weird flavour and the ice cream/ice lolly combo!

I don't like Soleros or Magnums either.

Although, in a game of Either/Or, I'd go for Solero over Magnum. But I couldn't promise to finish it.

I'm not crazy about Soleros or Magnums either.

I only eat homemade cakes too.

There's something in commercial cakes that also leaves an unpleasant aftertaste. And don't even get me started on Costco cakes and that weird icing fluff!

Everyone I know loves them, but I just don't see it myself.

I think I must just be quite sensitive to the additives maybe. Everything just tastes a bit 'articficial' and there's an odd aftertaste that you just don't get in homemade food.

This post has opened my eyes to the fact there are some people that would judge others on absolutely anything, it's just drinks, people can drink what they like ffs!
Ah but this is Mumsnet - it's a whole different world
I drink orange squash (the no added sugar variety), had a diet coke for lunch (restaurant) & am now drinking a cup of tea. I don't think I actually know anyone (albeit I have a limited social circle) who drinks only water (or wine) with meals.
Equally I don't know anyone who judges people so harshly as happens on here. (I'm exceptionally grateful for that)

Maybe my tastes just never grew up.
Stay that way, it's better for your sanity. (I've now got a craving for party rings!)

I don't think I actually know anyone who drinks only water (or wine) with meals.

Me either. I went out with my NCT group and a few not drinking as pregnant again. All ordered some kind of drink to have with their meal; coke, lemonade, sparkling elderflower...
Oh and someone mentioned lime and soda, that's squash.

Oh and someone mentioned lime and soda, that's squash.

No it's not, it's carbonated water and lime.

I think twisters are a bit wrong and disappointing in any case. I want an ice lolly OR ice cream.

I lick off all the icecream. Then eat the rest as a lolly

When I worked in a bar if someone ordered lime and soda they would get lime squash and soda, which is what they were always expecting.

Squash isn't good for adults teeth either. And they aren't getting another set if they ruin them (not of their own anyway). I don't think you should expect a toddler to understand that they need healthy teeth but others in the family don't. Because it makes no sense.
