The first time I followed through I was SHOCKED by the complete hysterical meltdown and tantrum!! We seldom have those around here. And it made me feel so awful. :( I actually did it once or twice more and then changed my mind about it. I realized that I knew those eggs and their contents were worth less than nothing...but not to Charlie (my son). It was WAY too big of a deal for me to use as punishment..it was so much worse than taking away his special blanket. I'm guessing Jack feels the same about the Happy Meal toy. Not that it was a punishment to him, but kids have no idea of the value of items like that. It's such a huge deal to them. Thank You, McDonald's. ;)Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06075689602617443611noreply@blogger.com
