Yesterday afternoon when I was at lunch, my mobile rang.
I looked at the caller ID and it was my baby's child care centre calling!
My heart started to beat so fast, all sorts of thoughts were going through my head at that time.
"Hello"? I said.
"Hi! Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with Eva"! Said the carer.
*phew* I breathed a sigh of relief.
"There's a boy celebrating his 2nd birthday and his mum brought in a chocolate cake. I was wondering if Eva could have some?" she continued.
There I was, forced to make a tough decision on the spot.
Was she ready for chocolate? She was only 14 months old. On the other hand, I didn't want her to be the only kid there not having any, it would break her heart and make her feel left out.
So in the end, I relented and said "OK, she can have a SMALL PIECE"! I felt like I had compromised my principles of not giving her junk food, and I still don't know if I made the right decision. Maybe I'll never know...
What would you have done in a situation like that?
