Is Mommy going to tell the prospective boss to hold on, and then proceed give a long lecture to the child on why too many calories is not good for health, and each cookie has about 25 calories, so it is not advisable to eat so many now?
If I didn’t have time to discipline my kid the way I believed was best, I would just let him eat the cookies. You’ve decided that the job is more important than your kid’s emotional health. Why can’t it just be more important than his physical health (which will really not suffer very much from one cookie gorge. I have eaten 4 large custard donuts for breakfast and 4 slices of pizza for supper on the same day. Yesterday I ran 11 miles. Also which cookie has only 25 calories?)
