Parenting is driving to the store for grapes at night in the rain because it's all your sick 4-year-old says he will eat... (lemm.ee)

...then after eating a few of the grapes he says he doesn't like the "inside part" of the grape, and just likes the juice. Now he wants grape juice.

I'm not proud to admit that I ended up blending grape jelly with apple juice for him, since we didn't have any grape juice. But he loved it, so... I'll take the win.

Why are you worried about downvotes?

Curiosity. A desire to know what people are thinking.

Sure, but the people downvoting didn't add a comment, they added a near zero information downvote instead.

They likely aren't going to say, and the demand that curiosity be satisfied over such a tiny negative action clutters up comment sections that could otherwise be intersting.

Most of the comments are now about this single, irrelevant action that didn't even really persist. Is that a good thing?

Good? Bad? Expected. Internet is going to Internet ❤
