I gave my niece and nephew popcorn while I ate dinner
Why not share your food? Do you think that was a responsible decision?
Yeah, I'm one of the most responsible people in my family. You know my niece is only 3 years old.
I know you feel like it was the responsible thing to do but giving children a snack while you eat dinner is not good. It was dinner time so they should be eating actual dinner. Save the snacks for afterwards or for the middle of the day.
What could possibly go wrong? They like eating more and wanted popcorn.
Children are very impressionable, so they should have been having dinner. You could always give them some popcorn afterwards, and even better, plan a little movie to eat that popcorn with! Try it out next time.
