8 Foods I Swore I'd Never Let My Kids Eat, and Then I Had Kids

I have new carpeting and my child has lovely new teeth (both of which I'd like to keep around for a while), so gum was always out of the question.

So, in an effort to stop the screaming, I told her she could have a piece of gum afterward. Game over.
