My kids are 2 and 3. Not benign neglect just no time, find it a struggle etc...

  1. I don't clean my kids teeth - prob about every 3 days
  2. Baths are once a week
  3. We never all eat together unless we're out
, we don't have a table

Anyone else?

You really need to find the time to brush your children's teeth. I know it can be hard - DD (2.11) had a long phase of being v difficult at teeth brushing time, screaming etc so I sympathise.

Too much TV here as well.
Not always enough variety or as many fruit and veg as I'd like. DD eats too much chocolate and had a dummy until recently (and yes we took it away after dentist said it was starting to make her teeth rotate). I don't always have enough patience.
