Is this a fair deal ?

GJ02 · 7 Mar 2011 at 17:25

Me and the wife have struck a deal with our 3 year old son, if he shows us that he eats his veggies for a month he will be allowed his own computer to help him with learning.

Day 3 and all is well, carrots and green beans are going down well and I think we may of cracked the veggie issue.

Does this seem a fair deal? To encourage his to like veggies he is rewarded with an educational toy ?

For every piece of vegetable he doesn't eat, kill one of his friends.

A computer for a 3 year old?

Is it a real computer or a Fisher Price computer? If the former then he's definitely getting the better end of the deal.

Can't you just put vegetables on his plate and tell him he can eat his greens or go hungry?

Pretty common tbh, although a new PC is a bit more than what others do. Its usually a free toy from the local store or something.

But since its for educational reasons there is no harm in it IMO

A three year old needs something like this:

or some Lego and not a real computer.

So who's going to be using this new computer more? lol

This is just a cunning plan to get the wife to allow you to buy a new PC isn't it!

But to him it's a computer

Sounds alright to me. Hopefully after that month he'll start to love his veggies then you've got yourself a bargain

Tried that, well on his plate, no eat = naughty step, infact this is the last resort
Nursery he eats the lot, here no no

Negotiating with a 3 year old?

You've already lost.

Forcing someone to eat vegetables is sick.
