My kids have soft drink (no not an everyday occurance), they have the watered down mcdonalds/Hj's coke once a week when we go out food shopping and buy tea at the shops. Very rarely do they have proper coke and when they do it is a sip of mine. We buy cans of soft drink so they just can't help themselves as they don't know how to open up cans... (yet) But they are well aware that cans are mummy and daddy's drinks as there is also cans of beer in fridge.

If we are out to a restaurant/pub (once every 2 mths) I will buy 1 small bottle of lemonade (where we go do the small glass bottles) and ask for 2 glasses and the boys will share that.

They rarely have juice, and rarer still have cordial. Both the boys prefer milk/milo or water to anything else.

Love
