My main one that comes to mind is soft drink too. DD is 2 1/2 and has only ever had a few sips of mine (when i have rarely had one). She only drinks water and a cup of toddler forula with her afternoon snack, but i will let her have a happy meal with nuggets (with water for the drink) if we are out and about.
When we go grocery shopping i have a strict no junk rule, i dont buy anything like chips or lollies or softdrink. But if we are in the service station I will usually get us a chocolate to share.
My dentist told me never to give DD jube type lollies but was fine with chocolate so she never gets lollies but chocolate is ok - she only gets it once every few weeks though.
I will let her have lemonade if there is nothing else but would never give her cola.
I let our kids listen to dh's progressive metal, because they can't understand the words, but not something like the Eels (I'll be a bit peeved if ds's first word is a swearie, specially since we don't!)
Oh, and he's not allowed chocolate (doesn't stop him nicking it and running though!), but I give him Nutella on bread...huh? :P
My kids get lemonade on occasion, No coke - even though I'm addicted to it. Cordial mostly through the day. I don't like giving it, but they gotta get their water some how.
Simpsons are ok but NO Futurama or any other adult cartoons.
Very rarely get lollies or cocolate. I get them chips instead. We are allowed Macca's, but only coz I love it so much. & we only get it every few months.
I don't mind what music they listen too. We swear a fair bit. We just teach them that it's not for them to do.
Yeah - THe funny thing about me not letting J listen to commercial radio started because of all the erectile dysfunction adds. A family friend had their young child wanting to know all about it!! Oh and someone else's child that I knew started singing Lady lumps!!!
Also the strange thing is that I will put the news on when he is around, and lets face it, the news can be pretty violent at times.
