If you have daughters who have problems when they consume drinks containing caffeine, why are you giving them caffeinated beverages on their birthdays? My unpopular opinion is that people shouldn't provide their children with something they claim their children can't handle.InvisibleGuy
Oh I couldn't agree more. My oldest daughter is almost 18 years old. As I said before she knows what her anxiety will allow wrt caffeine, she knows when to stay away from it, when it will trigger her, and when she's OK to have it.
By the way, just out of curiosity, how many children have you raised Kevin? How many teenagers?
I'm asking cos I wonder how many real world situations you've been in with a teenage daughter with an anxiety disorder. Not just speculation, or "I think this" or "I think that". But real world situations lol.
You're going to lose people in your life, and realize that no matter how much time you spent with them or how often you told them you loved them, it will never seem like it was enough.
Hug the ones you love.
Out of curiosity, I have raised zero children so far. I have raised zero teenagers. What real world situations have you been in that you feel justify buying your daughter a substance you know is dangerous for her?
Lol Kevin your funny. I can't even take your post seriously. You give out unsolicited advice very freely, on a subject you have very, very little if any experience with.
I don't have to justify myself to you, and I for sure don't have to justify how I raise my kids, to you, someone who has raised zero kids.
Nice try Kevin. I'm not taking the bait though. You can continue to try to flame. Try it with someone else who you might have more success with my friend

You certainly don't have to take my post seriously. I am concerned when someone tells me they are giving their child a substance they know to cause their child problems. I might have raised zero kids, but I know better than to give someone something when they've told me it negatively affects them. You're telling me you do that because you know better than I do. My unpopular opinion is that that isn't okay, yet you insist it is. What have you experienced that others have not that allows you to do that?Lol Kevin your funny. I can't even take your post seriously. You give out unsolicited advice very freely, on a subject you have very, very little if any experience with.

Goodnight, Kevin.

Sigh, goodnight InvisibleGuy. I keep trying to understand where you are coming from, and you keep dismissing my efforts.

I have raised zero kids either. But I know right from wrong. Things have an age limit on them for a reason. I do mind kids. But I would never have a stash of Red Bull on hand to give them the second their parent's are out the door. Much the same as I wouldn't hand them a smoke and say ' here, try this, you might like it '. Why not go the whole hog and crack open a few cans of beer. I am sure it might make the kids think ' what a cool parent we have '. That doesn't mean it is right. That says to me the parents have no other way of keeping their kids happy. So they give them what they are not meant to give them. Hence I used the word ' Idiots '. Bad enough an adult drinking these drinks. Loads of cases of heart attacks and other similar issues. A kid's body would not be fully grown. So there would be more of a risk of something going wrong. Parents don't seem to mind at all. They still take the risks. They will continue to do so too.

Good one
I agree, sheldon gets on my nerves
Oh yeah I hate when people bring it up in arguments. Am I supposed to be impressed? Concede and just adhere to your obviously vastly superior intelligence and let you win? Kay, bud.

Lazy people. Is Saturday. Bin day was yesterday. Is it so hard to take your bin in after it is collected? These are people who leave the empty bins out for days before taken them in. They will pass by the bin going in and out of their garden. But still not take the bin in.

It sucks that our self worth is based on having a job or a spouse.
