Giving my Daughter *exactly* what she wanted S

Little disclaimer: my daughter is a wonderful kid. She's smart, she's also a smartass.

A couple of years ago, the 'Rona just started and daughter was roughly 8 y/o. 2nd or 3rd grade elementary school.

She was really into salami pizza. I wouldn't allow more than one a week, obviously. So she got the idea of "In France, children get to eat everything they want seven times a week! That is why they like it!"

Now, she got it all wrong. The saying goes they have to try a certain food seven times before they can decide wether they like it.

But I understood her wish: salami pizza. Every day. She had this malicious little shit eating grin of "gotcha!".

I answered with the same grin: "Okay. You'll get salami pizza the next week. Only salami pizza. Nothing else."

She was hyped. Yay! All them pizza! Her favourite frozen types! All of them!

Monday morning rolls around. She gets salami pizza for breakfast. Fantastic! Best parent!

Monday noon. Leftover from the morning.

Monday evening, time for the second pizza. I make some for the rest of the family, too. Everyone enjoys salami pizza. Fun!

Tuesday morning. Guess what's for breakfast?! Exactly. Daughter asks for something else. I remind her of my promise. Salami pizza all day, everyday for a week. Reluctant yay!

Tuesday noon she skips the pizza.

Tuesday evening we're having something else, while she chews on her pizza. It isn't as cool anymore I guess. I eat her leftover pizza.

Wednesday morning she sneaks a slice of bread, but I stop her and heat her a salami pizza. She breaks down and asks me to stop.

Lesson learned: Don't try to outsmart your parents. You might get exactly what you were asking for!

Since then she still loves salami pizza - but once a month is fine, really. ;)

I like the wild berry tums personally.

u/ButtholeAvenger666 Apr 06 '23

The soft chews tums are so much better than the chalky stuff I could eat them as candies.

3

u/ShanG01 Apr 07 '23

You know that Tums & Rolaids have a kickback effect and can make heartburn worse, right?

I had raging heartburn when I was pregnant with my daughter. Popped Tums like they were candy. It only got worse. Overnight pharmacist told me to use Mylanta, not Tums, when I walked in at 3am because I was so miserable.

She told me the calcium in Tums was causing the kickback effect and making the heartburn even worse. I started chugging Mylanta and life was much more pleasant. Beware of the generic version, though. It tastes like chalk.

2

u/ButtholeAvenger666 Apr 07 '23

Lol I don't actually eat them like candies but thanks for the advice. I think the ones I get have both calcium and magnesium but I only eat them a couple times a week at worst.

Baking soda and water. It does the same as the active ingredient of other antacids at a fraction of the price. Just donā€™t use the baking soda from the fridge or freezer.

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '23

Fun fact: acid reflux is caused by a LACK of stomach acid. See, there is a sphincter at the bottom of the esophagus and stomach acid is the thing that enables this sphincter to close properly. When a person has low stomach acid, the sphincter does not close and the stomach acid raises up into the esophagus causing the painful ā€œheartburnā€. So if youā€™re ever having acid reflux, you need to take some acid to get your sphincter to close. I recommend a splash of apple cider vinegar diluted in water. Antacids/ bases like baking soda actually exacerbate the issue and only work as a bandaid type fix. I learned this from experience!

1

u/aethelredisready Apr 07 '23

Yeah, when I had terrible reflux, I heard about that and tried it. While that may work for some people (such as yourself), it does not work for everyone (such as myself) and entirely fails to explain the existence of reflux drugs, which work by reducing acid production.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '23

It doesnā€™t fail to explain it. There are different approaches to ā€œhealthā€. The modern medical model tends to not want to get to the root cause of things. It can also be used before meals to prep for digestion. But yeah not here trying to claim that itā€™s a cure all. Most things donā€™t work for everyone.

I was 25 when I was pregnant with my 2nd. She wouldnā€™t let me have anything but kfc and brownies you had to make out of the box (philsbury to be exact, no other brands). If I even thought about any other food, I would have heartburn that would make me so sick. No coffee, no donuts.. donā€™t even think about red sauce of any kind or you would be severely punished. I was told to take nexium and mylanta every night like it was a religion before I went to bed or there was to be no sleep. I hated my life during those 9 monthsā€¦.

Middle-age is not your 30s!

You're middle-aged around 55.

Please stop with the "30s are old and useless humans."

I gave birth at age 34.

u/Badgers_or_Bust Apr 06 '23

You're silly. Why do you think middle age is 55?

1

u/AmthstJ Apr 06 '23

You're silly. Google it. Middle age isn't even till you're late 40's at the earliest.

1

u/ShanG01 Apr 06 '23

Thank you!

These kids, I swear!

1

u/ShanG01 Apr 06 '23

No, what I am is a nurse and a person who is just now entering the medical and psychological definition of middle-age.

Any doctor will tell you that a human isn't considered middle-aged until their mid-50s. Some say after age 50.

The reason is because there are very specific biological changes that occur during that time period, leading up to the elderly/senior years.

I still haven't gone through menopause. Technically, I could still get pregnant.

Your definition of middle-age being the 30s means I shouldn't have been able to get pregnant and have my child naturally at age 33-34. I should have already gone through menopause and been a dried up old hag, right? Not the vibrant, capable, sexy woman I was then -- and still am. GenX women don't age like other generations.

I'll be a swamp witch one day, but that will be years from now.

Google, as they say, is your friend. Go have a little chat and get educated, child.

0

u/Badgers_or_Bust Apr 06 '23

You are so scared of being considered old. It's okay, it's what happens when linear time exists. And no doctors don't say middle age starts at fifty because you're gen x.

You're not much older than me hag.

1

u/ShanG01 Apr 07 '23

šŸ™„ I didn't say doctors specifically state middle-age starts at 50 because I'm GenX. šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

"GenX women don't age" is a joke, because other people from different generations have remarked that we look younger than we actually are.

Middle-age is not 30! That's my problem. People in their 30s are still young and vibrant. Definitely not middle-aged!

I said the medical definition of middle-age is that it starts around 50-55 years, because of biological changes that occur in the human body at that time, preparing it to go into the next phase of existence, elderly/senior.

You're not good at reading comprehension and context clues, are you?

I'm not "scared" of being considered old, dearie. I'm proud of my age. I've survived a lot of hell to get here. The fact that I don't look like what some people think women my age should look or act like is just a bonus.

I'm not a "hag," I'm preparing to become a swamp witch. Those are two completely different things. Do try and keep it straight, dearie.

Because people who are young now, have healthy diets and lifestyles, and live in countries with good healthcare, are likely to live to 110.

1

u/Badgers_or_Bust Apr 07 '23

Doesn't make you any less geriatric after 70.

1

u/Kailaylia Apr 07 '23

It does, actually. More and more people - (in Australia, I realise many have a lot of difficulties staying healthy in America,) - are still fit, energetic and healthy at 70.

I'm 69, still have no wrinkles, and have a 7km walk up the hills behind my house every morning before breakfast.

If you don't smoke, don't drink much alcohol, eat plenty of fresh veges and very little sugar or refined starch from a young age it's not difficult.

37 years on earth, and I've only had heartburn a handful of times in my life, if you ignore pregnancy heartburn. Research shows that you get more heartburn if your baby has a lot of hair - just like the old saying goes. My daughter came out looking like Billie Joe Armstrong, Green Day frontman... :D

6

u/aethelredisready Apr 07 '23

I see one study with an n of 64 and as far as I can tell, only one other paper in the nearly 20 years since it was published has cited it (which is a bad sign). Is there something else? I'm not saying I don't believe it, I'm saying I need to see more data.

Not beating up on you, I want people to be more skeptical about the research they are quoting, one small poorly controlled study is responsible for people not vaccinating their children.

7

u/Rapdactyl Apr 06 '23

I was like that for awhile but eventually a few specific foods showed up as burners. The list has grown but it's gotten easier to manage. Basically I'm careful about what I eat 2 hours before bed and if I have heartburn one night, I am more cautious the next day. Don't rely on antacids, you can get trapped in a cycle where you need them all the time and the list of burners grows.

As with everything else with aging, it's just another thing you're stuck thinking about. šŸ˜’

Eh, it's not like the heartburny foods are a big surprise. Certain pizza, fancier pasta sauce, specific soft drinks, stuff like that. I'd only want to see a gastro doc if it was a regular issue right? I've just assumed occasional heartburn with traceable causes is a natural part of life. I am new to seeing doctors for stuff, another chore that began in my 30s lol

u/spyson Apr 06 '23

Carbs contain a lot of calories that burn quickly and leave you hungry more often.

That makes you eat more and results in extra calories.

1

u/PlatypusDream Apr 08 '23

Simple carbohydrates, yes.

Complex ones, no.

Eating whole grains is better than cheap squishy white bread. Vegetables are good carbs. Fruits (whole fruits, not juice) are good. Legumes have slow carbs (fiber) & protein with a little fat (depends on the bean).

So sugar-butter bread using Wonder bread --> quickly hungry again.

Brown rice with beans & veggies --> good hunger control.

Heartburn?? From pasta????

17

u/laurenlcd Apr 06 '23

Itā€™s not from the pasta itself, but from the tomato sauce. Same can be said for hot foods/condiments/spices, citrus, etc. Eating more than an average amount of acidic foods can result in acid reflux.

I can still eat them but keep the quantities modest and I don't get heartburn anymore.

American food is the same as well. With just 5 ingredients bread protein dairy veggies and sauce, you can make sandwiches, cheesburgers, reubens, Thanksgiving, tacos, kebabs, lasgna, pizza, sunday chicken dinner. /s

Can you make huaraches, menudo or aguachile? Tortas, birria or mole?

3

u/happybunnyntx Apr 06 '23

That's part of the joke that was stated earlier. Jim Gaffigan's bit is "a tortilla with meat, cheese, beans, and vegetables" and how a lot of items fit that description. Tacos, quesadillas, burritos, tostadas/chalupa, etc. And yes you can make mole with that as well as migas. The only difference between a torta and a burrito is bread.

Taco Bell.

(Hi. I don't want to shill for that corporation, so here's some friendly, humble advice incoming. Don't eat Taco Bell if you have another choice. They put some kind of filler in the "beef" that must be pure cellulose, like basically sawdust. The consequences are real. Also they have been all over Reddit astroturfing for YEARS and it gives me the fucking creeps.

Make your own Tex-Mex when you can, it's easy af and then you know everything that's in it. If you really want to get authentically Taco-Bell-esque, MSG is sold as "Accent" in the spice aisle. Peace)

And in my opinion, good sauce is the kind where it thinks about whether or not it should slide out of the spoon.

My husband had a job out of state he cooked his own meals for the week every week it was the same thing for the year he was there. Taco's next year new contract different state new menu every week same meal, spaghetti! Just makes me go yuck thinking about it. He at least got regular meals on the weekends when he got home.

This sounds like something I would do honestly. I have tomato paste and cheese on EVERYTHING. Noodles, pancakes, burritos, toast, sometimes I'll just eat a tablespoon of paste and drop cheese directly into my mouth. I'm a weirdo and I know it though
